there are currently 3 different address formats used in bitcoin.
P2PKH addresses which start with 1 which are the oldest and most common addresses used. the transactions are using a pubkey hash to pay to.
there are P2SH addresses which start with 3 which are using pay to script hash. they mostly are multi signatures but SegWit can also have addresses starting with 3.
and finally the newest format is Bech32 where addresses will start with bc1. these represent SegWit addresses.
