Sources say that Google plans to bring PWA application backup and restore functions to Android Chrome browsers.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens, soft media users 1520111, Alejandro86 for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, November 6, according to ThespAndroid, several related submissions have been added to GitHub's Chromium repository a few days ago, indicating that Android's Chrome browser is expected to support backup and restore Web applications.

The submission on GitHub is described as follows: "when we detect that the user has replaced a new device and left a PWA application on the old device, we run the PWA restore function. The idea is that the user can restore the previously installed PWA application from the old device."

In addition, a new Flag experiment option (chrome://flags#pwa-restore-ui) has been added to the Android Chrome Canary 121version. However, at present, the Flag does not work properly.

TheSpAndroid provides two screenshots showing the previously installed PWA applications listed in the Chrome browser of the new device, and users can choose whether or not to restore them on the new device.

CTOnews.com Note: PWA, also known as "progressive Web applications", can be seen as a lightweight alternative to native applications, but Google's backup system currently does not support backup and restore of PWA applications.
