# iOS and Android app

iOS and Android apps include elements that are native to their operating systems. However, many elements used in web apps are also supported in native mobile apps. Below is a list of web app elements that are also available when building mobile apps.

To explore mobile-specific elements, check the sub-articles in the navigation menu on the right.

[^1]: On Android devices, **phosphor “filled” icons may display as black boxes** instead of the intended icon. This issue is due to a bug in a third-party library required for rendering these icons.

    At this time, there is no workaround. The issue will remain in place until it is resolved by the library author. If your app relies on filled phosphor icons, consider using an alternative icon style for Android builds.
