Really? You don't understand the value in having the PWA appear as a native app icon alongside everything else on the device?




You can do that with a link. Just click the three dots then "Add to home screen".


Yes, "Add to home screen" is exactly how you install a PWA to your phone =)

It's a bit confusing, isn't it? "Add to home screen" makes it seem like you're just adding a link, but it's installing the PWA, possibly enabling notifications, and etc.
