Offline access in Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) allows users to continue accessing selected content and app features even when there is no internet connection or limited network availability.
Offline access in Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) enables users to view previously loaded content or cached data even when the device is offline or experiencing poor network connectivity.
PWAs use service workers, caching strategies, and browser storage to store assets, pages, and data locally on the device. When the network is unavailable, the app serves cached content instead of making live network requests.
In OTT PWAs, offline access may include browsing cached catalogs, viewing metadata, resuming sessions, or accessing partially downloaded content, depending on content rights and DRM restrictions.
Offline access does not necessarily mean full video downloads. Unlike download-to-go, offline access typically supports cached experiences and limited playback scenarios without permanent local storage of protected video files.
Offline access improves reliability, user experience, and engagement in regions with unstable connectivity, making PWAs more resilient and closer to native app experiences.
