What's more efficient to use in terms of data connection, using native apps or PWA? Does PWA consume less data connection? Here in our country, we count every data we used when we browse since telecom companies here do not offer unlimited internet connection. Some do have unlimited internet offer but has data-capping.
The usual scenario would be Native Apps not requiring internet connection since most of the files a user need is installed on the device (unless the app dependent of online contents, then internet connectivity is mandatory).
Whereas PWAs (till date and majority of them) would require an internet connection to initialize and let the server know that a client is requiring the app to run. Since most of the data the user will be needing resides on the server's end, it would be fruitless to run without internet connection.
