No it doesn't.

I've added many shortcuts to websites from my home screen from within Chrome since this feature was recently added, and they all open in Chrome.



I just tested with MS Edge and it 100% opened in Safari.

And most frustrating is when you had Safari in private browsing mode, then shortcut (not pwa app) is also opened in private mode as new tab...


Maybe it's a bug in the Edge implementation then? Because it works fine in Chrome.


It’s much simpler than that. Home screen shortcuts open in the default browser on iOS regardless of where you created the shortcuts from. So they just didn’t have Edge set as default


Ah that would explain our differing experiences then. Thanks for the info!
