Web App / Progressive Web App
Detection
Bookmarked app-like icons appearing on Home Screen running via browser windows without native App Store entries.
Fix (technical)
On iOS: Apply web content filtering under (siehe ui_strings_ref)e, Media, Web & Games \> Web Content (DE: (siehe ui_strings_ref). On Android: Filter web access and PWA installations via Family Link Chrome controls2.
Fix (relational)
Align on browser usage expectations and establish transparent guidelines for web-based games and tools.
Residual risk
PWAs run inside standard web browser processes, making them harder to distinguish from standard web browsing activity.
