I am building an app using PWA. I am using Angular. Basically, it is a media application that plays videos. It is working fine on Android and the "Add to Home screen" popup also comes in Android devices, but in iOS devices "Add to Home screen" does not appear.
Does iOS support the "Add to Home screen" feature?

On iOS and iPadOS, PWAs are only installable if the user is using Safari. That means that users won't install PWAs if they use different browser apps, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.
If you do not see the "Add to Home Screen" option after you have opened the Mobile Gallery App installation link, you are most likely viewing from an unsupported browser (i.e. using the Gmail app on an iOS device, or the Twitter app from an Android device).
Yes, the app store supports PWA. You can publish your progressive web application on the iOS app store and wait for approval. Once your PWA has passed the quality guideline, you get approval in the store. Users can then download your PWA store without going to Safari and adding it to the home screen.
Please refer to the following articles listed below for the iOS PWA functionality
With iOS 11.3, Apple has silently added support for the basic set of new technologies behind the idea of “Progressive Web Apps” (PWAs). It’s time to see how they work, what are their abilities and challenges, and what do you need to know if you already have a published PWA.

PWA on iOS isn't automatically available like on Android, there are some additional settings you will have to change to allow for the popup to show on Safari iOS.
Additionally from the following stackoverflow Link, there is a link to making it available for iOS without the user having to change their settings.
