Hi all, so as per title, when I use browser app to make a pwa or 'add to homescreen' it works, but then opens the home page not the actual link I had created. From memory there was a hack where you would put your phone offline, airplane mode I think' and then it would save the link. But doesn't work anymore. Any1 have any solutions? Tx

Here is the link https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nwXAECO43ND2zjX9jzu5s3QiapGKlHKzs

Solved: see u/DerisionConsulting comments with steps. No need for tinyurl. Ty u all who helped. ❤️

I recently started using an app called Hermit to address a similar problem. It lets you create "lite apps" from any URL. Maybe it'd work for you?

Tx did solve my problem. But ads on yt music grr. I've just made a bookmark for brave, for no ads on playback and background play . if no other solution presents itself.

Seconding Hermit, it's a really useful tool for websites you visit often enough to wish they had an app.

I mostly use it for a football ⚽ forum I'm on, and it's a better experience than opening my browser and going to the site each time, as there are some degrees of customisation of the experience.
