		tech234a on Feb 16, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Web Push for Web Apps on iOS and iPadOS It's great to see additional capabilities being added to Safari on iOS; the bottom of the article also mentions additions of the Screen Lock, Screen Orientation, User Activation and Web Codecs APIs. The idea of limiting some APIs to apps added to the Home Screen makes sense; I hope in the future web apps can use other features such as the Vibration, Bluetooth, Screen Capture, NFC, and Share Target APIs.

Web Push is meh for me, but Screen Wake Lock and Screen Orientation APIs are super!

I work with custom web map apps, so it is great that iOS is moving little bit closer to Android.

PWA install prompt would be great like in Android. Share - Add to HomeScreen is too difficult for many users.
