The whole add to home screen process is needlessly convoluted. It would be nice if there was something similar to Smart Banners for PWAs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/promoting_apps_with_smart_app_banners https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/promoting_a...
- ezfe 3y agoYou just click "Share -> Add To Home Screen." I understand that that's technically more clicks than a smart banner but hardly "convoluted"
- throwitaway1123 3y agoI think it's convoluted relative to a Smart Banner. Smart Banners give users a clear call to action, and they're not buried in a menu somewhere. It's hard to make this point without linking to a screenshot, but the share menu is incredibly bloated. To get to the add to home screen button a user has to know it's in the share menu (which is just an unlabeled icon), and then scroll past the following menu items: - An options button (which leads to another menu) - Air Drop - Share via text message (with several different contacts listed individually to share with) - Copy - Add to Reading List - Add Bookmark - Add to Favorites - Add to Quick Note - Find on Page
- oh_sigh 3y agoAdding to your own home screen under a "share" menu is something probably 90% of users would never think of.
