I had to delete my app off my phone and now when I bring the app back up there is no add to homescreen button. How do I create a button so that users can add the app to the home screen or add the app to their phone?

Are you on Android or iOS? What do you mean by “bring the app back up”?

I am on Android. I mean I need to be able to install the app again. This seams like it should be a very basic feature of the app.

What browser did you try it on? Can we have some screenshots and the link to your app?

Still missing the point… That is only adding a shortcut to the browser on the home screen. (Not the same thing) And a lot of users do not know how to do that unless prompted with a pop up. For a company that allows users to create app, I would think they would make it easy for users to “install” …

I get the point, but if things are working correctly, “Add to Homescreen” installs the app, just like the popup. Is the issue that it’s not being recognized as a PWA? What did you change to warrant the uninstall in the first place? The only reason I ask is because there have been issues in the pa…
