Hey everyone, so I made a post about Progressive web apps a year ago, and wanted to get an update from Wix or it’s users to see what’s up.
I want to turn my site into a Progressive Web App for IOS.
It goes as follows:
- User visits site, Mobile site view loads
- User adds site to homepage
- User now has the website in fullscreen view as an app.
Is this possible to achieve? I know that there is an app in the market that allows to convert the site into a PWA, but its not quite there yet.
I think having the ability to make a site into a PWA would be a great feature, I mean, you could literally make an app bruh…

See the article How To: Turn your site into a Mobile Web App . I did this for one of my sites and it works fine.
Oh… My… God… I wish I had seen that article earlier. Thank you so much. I love design and I wanted to get more into mobile site view, and this of course sparked interest in creating PWA’s.
PWA is not only a shortcut on homepage. Because that can be easily done without any coding at all. But I believe that PWA is the future.
PWA :
lloads fast
can have push notifications
works offline
like native app uix
access from homescreen
direct downloadable (not via store/marketplace)
has access to native features (not all, because of security reasons)
The website only needs some modifications:
manifest data
service worker + caching
Question is: can we do this in the future with wix sites (and coding) ?
Kind regards.
Feel free to request this as a new feature:
@yisrael-wix Thank you for advise. I will send a request
