Android Browser "App"

Support
1

When I first accessed my Discourse site on my Android browser (chromium) it prompted me to download an “App”. One of our user’s is asking me how to find it after it was downloaded, but I can’t for the life of me find any documentation on this. Can somebody remind me the following?

  • How do you trigger the browser to download the app?
  • Once downloaded, where does it go?

For clarity, I’m not talking about the app for folks hosted on Discourse.org. I’m asking about the one chromium-based browser’s have that’s not really an “app” but a dedicated browser instance.

Thanks.

What You’re mentioning is a PWA. It is mostly a browser shortcut with extra features.

In the browser menu, there is an option to do so.

Excellent! I knew it was something simple but couldn’t remember. Thanks for the refresher.
