Yesterday it was the Washington post. Today it's Sky news.
I'm on an iPhone 13 pro max, iOS 16.6 with the app "installed" on my home screen.
Edit: thanks for explaining everybody!
This is a PWA bug. Not a problem in the native app!

3 0 ReplyThat's because you open your links "In App". Switch this off and you won't have that kind of banner anymore.
This is a problem with the PWA. Basically, the last website opened in-app that may have suggested to install a native app via a banner will keep said banner in memory.
3 0 ReplyI don’t have an option to open links “In App” that I can find anywhere but I’m also seeing ads that are hidden off-screen. Am I missing this option?

It should be in Settings -> General.Edit: scratch that. I just checked the PWA and it doesn't offer this option, sorry :-/

That's pretty weird, maybe make a post about it? I never saw anything like this personally.

Yep. It happens with similar app store banners. But only in the PWA app, AFAIK.
