Hi everyone, I really love the new Epic Forums and I’ve been using it a lot since the UE5 official release, and I noticed a problem with android devices if you decide to “pin it” to the launcher home page.

Here’s an example of what I am talking about, many browser features are gone:

No forward button (I use it a lot on mobile)

No share button (you can use the one in single posts but it’s not the same)

No find in page (this is critical for me)

No translate option (I’m not a native English speaker, and despite my C1 Level sometimes I need to translate words to Italian or read posts that are not in english)

No read aloud (this is a feature of edge that I use when I don’t feel like reading, it’s a nice to have imho)

Is there a way to just save a shortcut to the forums instead of installing the web app?
I tried using the default Samsung browser, Chrome and Edge but the result is the same.

Thank you in advance!
