Yeah — by opening a Chrome 🤷‍♂️

That’s true with iPhones anyway. I don’t know how androids work.

There is three reasons why I don’t use iPhone-PWA:

- no way to get url, that is quite often needed to get IDs etc.
- no way to refresh
- no way to use _open in another tab_

My users, most of them, are using PWA in both of eco systems, though.
