No back arrow’s on the site with IOS?

Question, did you add TDR to your homescreen? Apparently for Safari that puts the web site in "app mode" which by default hides Apple's screen elements.

Yes I did put the app short cut onto the home screen. I’ll delete it from the home screen and see what happens.
Thank’s

Bingo! I deleted my TDR short cut from the home screen and nothing changed so I thought I’d try a re-boot then Bingo there it was.
This has resulted in Two odd corrections 1, is that the Nav arrows appeared and 2, the missing URL has appeared on all pages that I’ve
Tried thus far. The nav arrows are at the extreme top Left and in addition the URL has appeared.
Now instead of adding a shortcut to the home screen, I’ll try favorites and see what happens. Thank’s for figuring this out, may all of your future puzzles be solved this easily. Easily? You’re a IT Rockstar!!!!!

I'm happy it's resolved. But it really stinks that adding it to the home page causes that. Apple assumes you want to view it like a regular app instead of a browser page, and removes browser controls from the screen.

There's supposed to be a way to prevent it from doing that, and I tried it here (special tag in the page HTML, still in place). But I'm not 100% sure it worked. The browser testing suite I use only allows access to the browser itself, so I couldn't pin anything to the home page to test. Now that you know how to resolve it, maybe trying pinning it again and see if the problem is gone? Or not, either way, just happy it's working for you now --- I have a response that works which I can give to anyone else who might run into it in the future.

Hopefully, at some point Apple expands what control sites can do so far as pinning and browser behavior.
