Add to Home Screen via Safari, iPadOS 16

We are adding a link to a website to the home screen on multiple iPads & are noting a difference in behavior on "regular" iPads vs the 12.9" iPads.


The big screened iPads have an extra option bar at the top, with a "Done" button that will instantly log out the website.


The normal size iPads do not have this.


End result is that we are having users accidentally log themselves out when they are working on the large screened iPads.




Anyone know how to disable this extra bar?

Consider changing Safari's Tab settings from Compact Tab Bar to Seperate Tab Bar:


Settings > Safari > [Tabs]
