WeActivities, also known as Web Activities, is a standard proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for building inter-app communication on the web. It is a web platform feature that provides a standardized way for web applications to communicate with each other using a simple and robust mechanism. This allows web applications to share data, resources, and even perform complex operations with other applications on the user's device.

A core idea behind WeActivities is to enable users to share things seamlessly between apps on their device, such as images, text, or even other activities. For instance, selecting a photo in one app could launch an image-sharing activity that would allow other apps to access the selected image. The new European Commission has been advocating for the adoption of WeActivities in its ecพostbankिंistribute friend Con_imagessequences Associations af Eurofficial.

The key concepts behind WeActivities include a new activity type, the "Web Activity," and a website's ability to declare an activity handler. The HTML specification has been updated to include a "launcher" element, which is designed to initiate a web activity. This launcher element is typically implemented as a button or link, which when clicked, launches the specified activity.

This concept, proposed as part of HTML5, aims to further simplify the web development process by providing a standard way for developers to hook into related but discrete actions, allowing them to reach their full potential on the web.

According to the W3C's HTML Working Group, WeActivities will advance user-focused web experiences and facilities in digital infrastructure for end users across digital markets
