It means that your web site was viewed using the UIWebView functionality on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). The UIWebView is different from the ordinary Safari browser, as it is not a stand-alone browser, but merely browser functionality that is embedded in a third party app.
Safari is the best way to experience the internet on all your Apple devices. It brings robust customization options, powerful privacy protections, and industry-leading battery life — so you can browse how you like, when you like. And when it comes to speed, it's the world's fastest browser.
WKWebView - This view allows developers to embed web content in your app. You can think of WKWebView as a stripped-down version of Safari. It is responsible to load a URL request and display the web content. WKWebView has the benefit of the Nitro JavaScript engine and offers more features.
Which browser iOS use in their webview? Safari browser installed in iOS & webview browser (if safari) are same or there are difference?
It doesn't have the Nitro Javascript engine. This makes executing Javascript much slower in UIWebView compared to Safari.

One thing I found, to my temporary sorrow is that UIWebView is a bit more strict while setting style values through JS. So say in mobile safari
element.style.width = 300; will work just fine, but in UIWebView you must set the value as
element.style.width = 300 + "px"; There are other differences which I'm discovering slowly. I'll update this as I do.
