It will open the page in a browser that only runs that one page, there is no "url bar" etc., making it feel more like an app.

Interesting, thanks

I just tried it. It just adds a browser shortcut to my phone. Oh well

I just checked my phone (android) and it doesn't work on lemmy.world, I don't have the install option in the page menu.

Other pages, e.g. any discuss forums, will have an extra menu option that allows me to install the page in the home screen / system menu. When installed like that, the shortcut will open a special version of the browser without the ability to navigate away from the page.
