Absolutely nobody expects to find installation options under layers of indirection in a share menu. It’s an intentional choice by Apple that’s hostile to users

It’s an intentional choice by Apple that’s hostile to users but very aligned with their strategy to lock users into their own proprietary platform as much as possible.
- MBCook 3y agoWhat do you think the process should be? There are only five buttons on screen, should one of them be permanently dedicated to adding a webpage/PWA to your home screen? For the record they are the back, forward, share, history/bookmarks, and tabs buttons. As I explained in another reply, I don’t think Apple is being malicious here. I think they just shove everything that’s not a very common use in there.
- mdhb 3y agoI’d be much more inclined to believe that analysis if we were to look at this as a single thing but the moment you look at the consistency of their decisions that they have made regarding the web as a platform it’s close to impossible to impartially come to that same conclusion.
