i uninstalled wefwef to get the new icon in the last update, i had it installed as a pwa and it would show up in my app drawer like an actual installed app
now i click the same install button from chrome but it only lets me add it as a shortcut? i can’t get it to install as an actual app
anyone else have this?
I think it’s been like that for a while. I self-host a lot of webapps that have PWAs, and they only ever show up as a shortcut with the Chrome badge in the corner. I can’t tell a difference at all between “Create shortcut” and “Install {app}” options anymore.
Not sure when it changed, but it used to give you an actual, un-badged icon and appeared in the app drawer as you described. I think that’s been at least a year ago, but that’s just a best guess.
I don’t use Chrome but Firefox, and PWAs are just really inconsistent. I think it’s probably an Android/OS/home screen thing rather than Chrome specifically.
Open https://wefwef.app on chrome & click on vertical line(3dots) on top right corner… You can see install option, select and tap on install. That’s all.
yes, that’s exactly what i described and said they changed the behaviour of…
I’ve always stuck with dedicated apps, so I wouldn’t know sorry.
Sometimes it can happen… Delete the shortcut and restart chrome, then open wefwef page in a new tab…
