Progress web apps & navigation controls on iPad and iOS

This drives me nuts.

So if you install” a PWA on macOS and iOS (or add it to the dock” or Home Screen” as they call it), you get back and forward arrows on macOS, while not on iOS.

This kind of drives me nuts, because most web apps aren’t really designed with this in mind. Sometimes navigation gestures work, other times not.

Kind of makes them useless on iOS and iPadOS.
