## WebView2 (Windows)

Tauri uses WebView2 which is based on Microsoft Edge and therefore Chromium. WebView2 can update itself, you are guaranteed a relatively recent chromium build on all Windows targets.

WebView2 is supported on Windows 7 and newer and comes preinstalled on Windows 11. On versions older than Windows 11 the installer generated by Tauri takes care of ensuring WebView2 is installed on the system.

## WebKit (macOS, iOS, & Linux)

Tauri uses WebKit on macOS (through [WKWebView](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview?language=objc)) and Linux (through `webkit2gtk`).

### Interpreting WebKit Version Numbers

Webkit version numbers are quite complicated, so below is some helpful information to understand them.

WebKit version numbers are made up of 5 segments and a numeric prefix indicating which OS WebKit is built for:

> `$(SYSTEM_VERSION_PREFIX)$(MAJOR_VERSION).$(MINOR_VERSION).$(TINY_VERSION).$(MICRO_VERSION).$(NANO_VERSION)`

The numeric prefix is called the `SYSTEM_VERSION_PREFIX` and seems to be only present for macOS and iOS builds (not for Linux). Furthermore, if the last two segments are both `0` they can be omitted (so a version like `613.2.7.0.0` would be referred to as `613.2.7`).

As an example, the WebKit version shipped with Safari 15.5 on macOS Monterey (12.x) has the version number `17613.2.7.1.8`. You can interpret it like this:

- `SYSTEM_VERSION_PREFIX`: 17
- `MAJOR_VERSION`: 613
- `MINOR_VERSION`: 2
- `TINY_VERSION`: 7
- `MICRO_VERSION`: 1
- `NANO_VERSION`: 8

Here is what the `SYSTEM_VERSION_PREFIX` values map to:

| macOS version | `SYSTEM_VERSION_PREFIX` |
| ------------- | ----------------------- |
| sdk=iphone\*  | 8                       |
| 14.0          | 19                      |
| 13.0          | 18                      |
| 12.0          | 17                      |
| 11.0          | 16                      |
| 10.15         | 15                      |
| 10.14         | 14                      |
| 10.13         | 13                      |
| 10.12         | 12                      |
| 10.11         | 11                      |

### macOS & iOS

On macOS, Tauri uses the webview that comes preinstalled with macOS since version 10.10 (Yosemite). It is considered a core component and is therefore updated with the regular OS updates. This means unsupported macOS versions **do not** receive WebKit updates.

To find the WebKit version used by `WKWebView` on your version of macOS you can use this command in the terminal:

```shell
awk '/CFBundleVersion/{getline;gsub(/<[^>]*>/,"");print}' /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Resources/Info.plist
```

#### WebKit Versions in Safari

The table below maps an OS version to the corresponding WebKit Safari versions so that you can use sites like [caniuse](https://caniuse.com) to figure out if a specific web platform feature is supported.

| OS Name     | OS Version                       | WebKit Version   | Safari Version | Notes                                                         |

### Linux

The diverse nature of the Linux ecosystem means it is very hard to compile accurate information about WebKitGTK on the various distros. The table below is a very incomplete list of the most commonly used distributions and their WebKit versions. You should always check your distro's repositories for up-to-date information.

| Distro                                                            | `webkitgtk` Version | WebKit Version | Safari Equivalent |
