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 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:

Screenshot_20210304-195935
Screenshot_20210304-1959351080×2160 338 KB

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?

Can you link the site here? I can take a look at it for you!

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.

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:
