I am working on somewhat of a webapp, the client would like the ability to save to homescreen (default behavior) but when the end user opens the app saved to the homescreen it opens in safari rather then in “webapp” mode.
An example of such is on espn’s mobile site:

Note by saving to homescreen, then accessing… It opens in safari.
Thanks!!
I believe the web app will always open in Safari, but you can change the behavior of how it opens so it might not feel like it’s opening in Safari. Check out these page on how to use some apple-specific meta tags:
