Emulators act like “mimics” and copy the software and hardware environment from the host device. The words may sound similar but are quite different in functions. Emulators have the capability to run apps from a specific operating system or multiple devices like iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, etc.
In simple words, the emulators are like virtual machines that support the operation of applications that belong to a different operating system and run them seamlessly. An iOS emulator is an electronic software that enables one computer to act like a different system called the “guest” and allows it to run the software and apps of the “host” system.
