  1. React Native renders are actually performed by native views via the bridge.
  2. The virtual DOM gives React better performance.

In React-Native, you write Javascript. The Javascript communicates with native components (Java on Android, Objective C on iOS, C# on Windows).

Whereas WebView is simply a way to show a webpage in an app. It loads the content of the URL provided in the given screen size. The content does not communicate with the native components and hence will not give you native mobile application look.
