Remove the "uninstall" option from the site icons pinned to home screen in Android

Hi, yeah you might actually be right because I thought about it too. I'm using Microsoft launcher. if it is indeed something that must be fixed in launcher level, then Microsoft can fix it in their own launcher which is quite popular on Android as it's great and feature rich.
I'm not sure how it works but Edge browser should make those shortcuts in a way that they be different from app shortcuts.
"johnjansen" said he doesn't even have "uninstall" option, i wonder what launcher he uses.

You are correct HotCakeX . I am using Microsoft Launcher as well so the Launcher team will likely have to address this issue.

Jacques Van de Meerssche yeah, in our investigation we determined this to be a Launcher issue as well. Can you file feedback for them? I assume they really mean "uninstall the thing this shortcut points to" and that's why they include "remove" as well, as in "remove this shortcut".
