Can we correct the headline…

This is just Max’s viewpoint and others in the thread who are actually in Europe have confirmed it works for them

No it doesn't work for anyone in the EU for any type of pwa

I just saved https://whatpwacando.today/ to my Home Screen and opened it as a PWA from there, was able to launch the camera etc.

I’m in the EU on the latest version of iOS.

Are you on 17.4 beta 2? If so I’ll have more questions.

People have been saying it's working for them in the EU: the Apple's detection is complex and seem to take into account different parameters, like the ios region, but also the origin country of the sim card used.

But note this behavior only occurs if you are in the EU and you are using 17.4 beta 1 or beta 2

My bad, I didn’t know beta versions were in play here. I’m on the latest stable version of iOS, 17.3.

And yet there are other people in the very same thread for who it works e.g. https://twitter.com/fr3ino/status/1755511944016973873

So your statement isn’t accurate
