_Hi just recommending adding the ability to add brave tabs as a progressive web app in iOS (PWA). It is available in Safari where user can add some web pages to home screen._

This is Apple’s policy. Brave iOS lacks native “Add to Home Screen” for PWAs, unlike Safari—users must use Safari for this, as Brave can’t fully apply its shields/privacy features to PWAs due to iOS WebKit restrictions.

Looks like Apple added support in March.

“Added support for third-party browsers to offer Add to Home Screen from the Share menu.”
