If you add the Twitter PWA to the homescreen and don’t use it for seven days, it’s storage will be reset and you’ll have to log in again.
I think WebKit’s handling of local storage is the prime example of how optimizing for privacy to the exclusion of every other consideration is user-hostile
- CodesInChaos 7y agoI don't read it like that. It's not about 7 days real time, it's about 7 days on which you use the app. Since you can use Safari without visiting the PWA's domain, this feature can delete the data of a PWA which runs in Safari. Since you can't use a homescreened PWA without it visiting the associated domain, the data saved by the PWA's domain will never be deleted for homescreened applications. But data associated saved by other domains can still get deleted if you use the application for 7 days without it opening that domain.
