It’s a pretty clunky call to action, though. The simplest thing for the user would be a button right in the message telling you a PWA is available. “Tap here to install” and it’s done.

Instead, you need to tell users “Hey, we have an app! No no stop, wait, don’t go looking in the App Store it’s not there. Instead you need to hit the share icon. Yeah it looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it, down the bottom of the screen. Yeah if it’s not showing you need to tap the gray bar at the bottom first. Then the share button. Then look through for something that says install to Home Screen. Yeah scroll down a bit and maybe scroll across until you see it. Yeah there you go.”

"Tap here to install" is how Chrome does it.

True. The context of this thread is discussing the process on iOS, and the hypothesis that it leads to lower adoption of PWAs on Apple's platforms. From the original comment:

> > Apple said PWAs had "very low user adoption"

> Installing PWA isn't obvious for users on iOS Safari or even macOS Safari. It's very obscure
