Edge Android does not truly install PWA

I believe Edge Android does not truly installs PWA, instead it creates a shortcut on the home screen. If I install PWA from Chrome, the app is added to the App drawer and also shows up in Settings > Apps list. This is not the case when installing via Edge. It only shows up on the home screen and there is a edge logo at the bottom right corner of the app logo.

 

This is not a site specific issue, I have created multiple PWAs that install perfectly on other platforms and browsers except Edge. I even tried the demo from Edge and it also behaves in the same way.

    It seems not support yet for PWA. I have to use Chrome to install and test my PWA developments

    Same issue. Both Chrome and the Samsung Internet browser truly install an app and Edge doesn't. It also adds a shortcut to the screen and when you reboot the phone everything disappears.
