[BUG] When swiping left, a banner shows up to a newspaper app
Yesterday it was the Washington post. Today it's Sky news.
I'm on an iPhone 13 pro max, iOS 16.6 with the app "installed" on my home screen.
Edit: thanks for explaining everybody!
This is a PWA bug. Not a problem in the native app!
16 0 ReplyIs this fixable, or it’s an issue with Safari’s PWA implementation?

This might be the funniest bug I’ve seen reported on here!
8 0 ReplyThat's because you open your links "In App". Switch this off and you won't have that kind of banner anymore.
This is a problem with the PWA. Basically, the last website opened in-app that may have suggested to install a native app via a banner will keep said banner in memory.
3 0 ReplyI don’t have an option to open links “In App” that I can find anywhere but I’m also seeing ads that are hidden off-screen. Am I missing this option?

It should be in Settings -> General.Edit: scratch that. I just checked the PWA and it doesn't offer this option, sorry :-/

That's pretty weird, maybe make a post about it? I never saw anything like this personally.

I couldn’t understand why you posted this complaint in c/politics.
3 0 ReplyYep. It happens with similar app store banners. But only in the PWA app, AFAIK.
2 0 ReplyThat's the collapse gesture. You can disable gestures in settings.
1 3 ReplyI think OP is referencing the banner at the top of the screenshot.
