The opposite is true for iOS versions before 16.4, where PWAs could only be installed in Safari. Most browsers support installing PWAs on all operating systems-ChromeOS, MacOS, Windows, Android, Linux, etc.-directly or when an extension is installed.Īpple is unique when it comes to PWAs: PWAs can be installed on macOS from any browser except Safari. Whether the PWA can be installed by the browser on the operating system differs by browser/operating system combination. Installation is supported on all modern desktop and mobile devices. Once installed, the PWA behaves just like other installed applications: clicking on the application icon opens the PWA, even when the user is offline. No matter the browser or OS, the installation needs to be confirmed. On mobile, the install prompt is generally found in the menu of browser options. On most desktop browsers, the install prompt is in the URL bar. For example, on macOS, the icon will appear in the dock, and will have the same icon options as other applications:

Once installed, the PWA will behave like other applications that are installed on the OS.

When the user selects the icon, the browser displays a prompt asking if they want to install the PWA, and if they accept, the PWA is installed. In Chrome and Edge on desktop, when the user navigates to the page, if the page is a PWA and the PWA is not currently installed by the browser, an installation icon will be visible in the URL bar: Other browsers, including Chrome for Android, include the app installation command in the browser setting menu. The 'Add to homes screen' user interface installs the PWA on Safari on iOS.

The user interface for installing PWAs differs by device and OS combination. The UI for installing a PWA from the web varies from one browser to another, and from one platform to another.
