What is a Laravel mobile app backend?

A Laravel mobile app backend is the server side application that powers iOS, Android, React Native, or Flutter mobile applications. It handles authentication, business logic, data storage, third party integrations, push notifications, file uploads, and real time updates. Mobile clients consume the backend through REST or GraphQL APIs, with Laravel Sanctum or Passport handling token authentication. The Laravel backend is the same architectural piece regardless of which mobile platform the client app is built on.
