Assign Different Page Layouts to Object in Different Apps

I have a quick question please.

This is the situation:

I am connected to an org.

Let's assume this org have 2 apps using the same object.

Is it possible to use a different layout for that object in each app for the same profile ?

I know that layouts are assigned by profile and I am asking if they could get assigned by apps ?

If this is not possible should I understand that the term "App" used on a salesforce org is just a way of organizing the different object tabs of the SF org and not an independent entity.

(Am not a native speaker, so i am sorry if my English is shaky)

Thank you.

For your question:

Is it possible to use a different layout for that object in each app for the same profile ?

The answer is both Yes and No.

Yes -- if you are using Record Types for your object. Record Types let you assign different page layout for same object to same profile

No -- if you are not using Record Types, then you can only assign one page layout per object to any profile

I know that layouts are assigned by profile and I am asking if they could get assigned by apps ?

You cannot assign page layouts by apps, but only using one of the combinations as explained above
