For instance, when you log in to your Salesforce mobile app and
see your data from your Salesforce org, you’re using a
connected app.

3. Using connected applications, you can integrate external
applications with the Salesforce API, such as a web-based
application that pulls in order status data from your Salesforce
org.
You can also use a connected application to activate a single-sign-
on system (SSO) or set security policies to control what data can
be accessed by third-party applications from your org.
