Usually apps.
Right now I’m trying Instagram and Facebook as website shortcuts. I watch reels on Instagram and people send event invites on Facebook (birthdays and whatnot) but I don’t like having them installed. The reels scrolling fucks up very often but otherwise it’s fine.
In the end I don’t know why I’m bothering, since I use messenger with a few people and I can’t seem to use that without an app (or going to my PC every time).
You can do it on firefox on android but every time I try it makes the status and navigation bar on the phone white. I find that annoying so I had to grab an app to put shortcuts on my home screen that open in the browser instead of the “install” version.
