Apple reintroduces web app support on home screen in Europe for iOS 17.4 due to DMA requirements.

Apple has reintroduced support for web apps on the home screen in Europe after initially removing it in 2018 due to European law (DMA) requirements for users to have the option to choose their browser engine for web apps. Apple may be following the DMA requirements by allowing users to choose their browser engine or not adhering to the law. The reversal comes after Apple received requests to continue offering support for the feature, with the existing functionality set to return with the release of iOS 17.4 in early March.
