How to redirect landing page to PWA?

[ModalityZ]

I have noticed on Android and iOS that some https urls open in non-browser apps. Is there a way to achieve that with a PWA? Our users will be confused if we guide them through installation of our PWA, only for them to get the landing page again once they reuse their url.

I thought I would find some mention of this desirable behavior among PWA guides on protocol_handlers, but so far none do. So I accepted the invitation to give feedback offered at https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/best-practices/url-protocol-handler#tell_us_about_the_api_design

If you have an installed PWA, you can change this behavior setting now. See the bottom of this screenshot:

(Go to about://apps in Edge or Chrome, right-click, choose App Settings.)

Thanks, that's good to know. But our users would really appreciate not having to follow multiple steps, so if it is possible to configure this in a manifest or js api, that would be much, much better.

For context, our users are elderly who would like to get reminders (push notifications). Every step we would ask them to do reduces the likelihood that they will finish and get the reminders they want. Even trying to explain how to find a "button with three dots or lines in the corner" leads to a huge defection.

...which would be the answer here if you include it in your explainer.
