Here's a proof from Twitter that was shared on Yappa's twitter:
These are really good figures to boast of.
Here's the tweet everyone! https://twitter.com/yappadappadoo/status/1007239111793573888
I believe that Twitter Lite is purely PWA. Remember that PWAs are entirely different than native apps in many of its attributes.
Though, the beautiful thing about PWA is that it gives the user an immense native app experience less the installation.
You are right elycoinz, Twitter Lite is purely PWA.
Twitter perhaps knew that having a PWA along with their native app is a good way to boost their user engagement and reach as people need not need to install the app before being able to use their services, and that is really smart.
People could not even tell that they were on PWA because Twitter Lite behaves nearly the same as the Twitter App itself.
Have you seen instagram? For you to use it on your mobile device, it is a necessity to install the app itself otherwise, there is no chance to use their service. And here, i'm sure they have been losing a lot of audience unlike twitter who saw an increase by utilizing PWA.
