Edge Android does not truly install PWA

I believe Edge Android does not truly installs PWA, instead it creates a shortcut on the home screen. If I install PWA from Chrome, the app is added to the App drawer and also shows up in Settings > Apps list. This is not the case when installing via Edge. It only shows up on the home screen and there is a edge logo at the bottom right corner of the app logo.

This is not a site specific issue, I have created multiple PWAs that install perfectly on other platforms and browsers except Edge. I even tried the demo from Edge and it also behaves in the same way.

    Good day Vipul, thanks for your question. I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. My apologies on this in-app experience and is this also happening on Edge Beta that you can download on the Google Play Store?

    Regards,

    Paul R.

    If this is the case and if this been ongoing for quite sometime now then it will be best to cascade it by sending a feedback via the Edge browser itself by tapping the 3 dots > Help and feedback and also cascade it via the link below so that the team that is working on Edge will be aware and they will be able to check this on their end and hopefully this will patched the soonest.

    Can you post a screenshot? I can't find the 3 dots or Help and Feedback option in Edge? Are you talking about the Android browser or Windows?

    On Android it is the 3 dots > Send feedback and you can cascade it from there.
