wordpress sites saved as apps rather than links when using iphone "add to home screen"

When using "add to home screen" in ios safari, the wordpress sites I build for my clients are being saved as discreet apps rather than links that open in the browser. I tap the newly created icon, and the site opens as an app rather than a new tab in mobile safari (my default browser).

This seems to be semi recent behavior. Maybe in the past 2 years at the most. I've tested a number of sites, and it seems to only happen on the WP sites I've built within the past 2 years max. Other sites are saved to the home screen as browser links. Has anyone encountered this before and know how to stop it from happening?

An online favicon generator that I use included a site.webmanifest file. In that file I needed to change this...

"display": "standalone"

...to this:

"display": "browser"
