Forget phone Apps, use "add to home screen"
posted ago by Benjamin +16 / -0

Just a patriot service announcement:

You can select "Add to home screen" in your phone browser to create an App-like icon on your phone screens home screen.

On Android, with the Brave browser (maybe all browsers?), this now creates a seamless full screen web-app, without the browser bar. If you've already got a home screen icon, delete and re-add to do the magic.

Does the full-screen web app on iOS, too.

Problem is I can’t find out how to refresh.

On Brave you just pull down from the top of the page and it refreshes. Sorry, not sure about iOS...
