What's the difference between an app and a program
App and program mean the same thing. Software you run on your device. App is the newer, shorter term. We use both words for the same thing.
App is short for application. Program means the same thing. The term app became popular when smartphones arrived, but it applies to all software. Including Windows programs like Word or Chrome. Software is the umbrella term for any code running on your device.
