Matrix supports many different kinds of clients: from embedded IoT devices to
|
|
|
|
|
desktop clients. Not all clients can provide the same feature sets as other
|
|
|
|
|
clients e.g. due to lack of physical hardware such as not having a screen.

iframes. These embedded clients are typically for a single purpose

be reached (e.g. if a mobile site could display push notifications it could be

classified as a mobile client).
