Starting on Chrome 90, Discourse admins can add screenshots to the PWA install bottom sheet.

You will need to take a few screenshots of interesting pages, upload those a topic and fill then in at `/admin/site_settings/category/branding?filter=manifest screenshots`.

For the screenshots, Chrome [documents](https://web.dev/add-manifest/) the following requirements:

> - Width and height must be at least 320px and at most 3840px.
> - The maximum dimension can’t be twice larger than the minimum dimension.
> - Screenshots must have the same aspect ratio.
> - Only JPEG and PNG image formats are supported.

After filling the setting, it will look like this:

If you have a `login required` site, be aware that the screenshots are public.

How to fill in the settings for the screenshots? Seems only to be a text field and does not prompt for an image upload.

You need to upload to a topic, copy the URL afterwards and use that in the site setting.

I have added a couple of screenshots links in the manifest screenshots, in order to test these features. But it’s not working for me. I have tried chrome v90.0.4430 and chrome canary 91.0.4446. Is this feature ready to implement or do we have to wait??

You have to enable a flag in Chrome Canary to test it:

`chrome://flags/#mobile-pwa-install-use-bottom-sheet`

It’s working fine for meta and not for my site in chrome canary. I have uploaded the image and added the links in manifest screenshots. Is there anything I am missing here?

Thanks, there is a mod in UK that will have a look…

The idea of disabling the PWA, was not to remove, but more when we have more time see how we can integrate the PWA, compatible with our thoughts, not as a popup perhaps a link to for those wanting to try…

There is no pop-up.

The install prompt for PWA install in Discourse that happens in Android is a link in a top banner that only happens for users with enough engagement.

> [@Encourage members to install WebApp](https://meta.discourse.org/t/encourage-members-to-install-webapp/138003/2):
>
> We already have a PWA install promotion banner built-in. It is triggered after a logged in user hits Trust Level 1, and shows a banner at the top promoting the install.

The new screenshots mentioned above only show **after** the user clicks on the prompt we have used for years.

Your screenshots dimensions are 1080x2246, which fail the rule:

This is now live on Android Chrome for _some_ users, as Google is doing a staged rollout:

I cannot wait to see how well this works with Discourse on desktop! 😀
