WebOS is an operating system originally developed by Palm, Inc. for mobile devices. It was designed to provide a user-friendly interface and multitasking capabilities, allowing users to run multiple applications simultaneously. Over time, it has evolved and is now primarily used in smart TVs and other connected devices. In 2013, LG Electronics acquired WebOS and repurposed it for their smart TV lineup. The platform features a simple layout, enabling easy access to streaming services and apps. WebOS continues to receive updates, enhancing its functionality and user experience in the realm of home entertainment.
