As of iOS and iPadOS 16.4, web apps saved to your Home Screen support badging!
We've heard questions about the deets, so we wrote a blog post with the deets.

@bradeeoh May I please ask a very basic question? Is there a way to disable web apps from running in the background? Basically, I wonder whether web apps could be used as a sandboxed alternative to installed apps.

@saf Currently, web apps on iOS and iPadOS cannot run in the background unless the user has granted them notifications permission and their server sends a push.
