Bug 152687 – Once the web app is "installed" to home screen the user cannot use swipe to go back

• Status: NEW
• Component: Accessibility

[Felquis]

Safari the browser has a swipe to go back, which the users use to navigate through the navigation history, once the web app is installed to home screen, the users cannot use this anymore, and the users doesn't have a way to navigate though the nav history.

I'm using the content specified in the documentation here https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html

I'll schedule an hour to create a demo. But for now, I believe the users must have the swipe to go back function on web sites which uses the `apple-mobile-web-app-capable` metatag and were added to home screen.

On Chrome for Android I use the documentation here https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/installtohomescreen to be able to save the web app in the home screen.

I'll appreciate feedback on this.
