I am an Android developer. I was looking at the micro-apps architecture as they are being considered as the "future" of mobile development. While trying to understand the development process, I came across somethings like below:
1) "Built using HTML/HTML5, micro apps typically avoid app stores and load dynamically into existing communication tools. Developers can easily embed them into a full-featured web app or use them as a communication tool within an existing mobile app".
2) "One of the main benefits of micro apps is that they run seamlessly on all devices, whether it is a mobile or desktop. There is no need to build a separate micro app for each platform as one micro app works across all devices".

I have read similar things at many places.
The examples being given for micro-apps are Facebook Messenger, Google Hangouts etc.
So, I am unable to understand the following things (taking example of Facebook Messenger):
1) Isn't Messenger also a separate mobile application?
2) Isn't it still platform dependent as one will have to make a separate application for Android, iOs etc?
3) How does it bypass Playstore?
4) How can a mobile app be made using HTML?
I am really confused about developing a micro-app. Maybe I am missing some basic understanding.
Kindly help. Thanks!
