Hello, when new users open the app on browser appear a prompt pop up that make them install Discourse App

I have a Pro Plan and I do not wish to have this to happen , instead I like to invite my public to see my logo, my name and install my app. How I can fix?

This sounds like a PWA popup to be installed. It’s a Chrome thing, but I’m not sure if it can be specifically disabled since Discourse is configured to be used as a PWA as well.

I wish to disable it as well, almost nobody uses PWA:

> Only around **54,000 websites** currently fully leverage PWA technology out of the ~1.1 billion websites that exist — that’s roughly **0.005%** of the whole web.

We need a little more info on which banner this is, there are a couple different ones… if it’s the one asking to install the Discourse app, it’s controlled by the site setting `native_app_install_banner` (more info here [Native app install banner for Android and iOS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/native-app-install-banner-for-android-and-ios/55056))

If it’s a blue banner like this, then it can’t be disabled with a setting, but it can be hidden with CSS
