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?

    Noticed the same thing too. Would’ve preferred having it show up in my app drawer. No idea if it’s because of chrome or wefwef tho sorry.

      I’m pretty sure it’s chrome since Samsung internet let me install it to the apps screen (but it’s buggy and wefwef doesn’t work right)

        Checked with Samsung Internet too. As you said, it’s buggy.

        Also, minor issue, but the system status bar no longer matches the app colour ( its dark grey regardless of light or dark theme ). Wasn’t the case before.

          Yep, could be because chrome won’t install it properly… :C

    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.
