There isn’t a way to change the icon for web apps on iOS, is there?

Edit: Turns out it actually is possible: link

On iOS, you can use the open url scheme in Shortcuts and assign any icon you’d like when you add the shortcut to your Home Screen.

Edit: Yeah not recommended for a web app though but it does give you a custom icon.

Yeah that’s the problem. I’m pretty sure it was possible before to choose a custom image for PWAs but it no longer is which is a real shame. Probably nothing that the devs here can do about it
