How to read this comparison

  • Included means current public product material explicitly supports the feature.
  • Partial means a narrower or differently implemented capability is documented.
  • Not publicly verified means the exact capability was not found; it does not claim the app cannot do it.
  • No is reserved for the two deliberately tongue-in-cheek product differences.
