I’m pretty sure that doesn’t work for web apps though, since they’re not actual apps the "open app" shortcut doesn’t work. You can use "open url", but that opens it in the browser.

I don’t know if there can even be such a thing as different icons for web apps on iOS.

Some time ago you could actually change the icon to whatever you wanted, but that’s no longer possible afaik.

Mate can you stop reading my mind, God's sake this is scary. The SECOND TIME we are posting and commenting the EXACT same thing minutes of each other.

As of now, there is no way for pwas to rebrand themselves on IOS. The only way is to reinstall - and lose local data.

I mean all the data is on my profile so I'm willing to reinstall. What's the method exactly?

You just remove and add to home again? This is for when the app developer changes the icon or name. In that case the only way to get the updated branding is to reinstall.
