I think you need to test this on your own website and not of others. What does your website in standalone mode look like? – ReyAnthonyRenacia Jun 25 '17 at 01:49

The IP of the server is just getting displayed, for ex if my web app is running 10.1.1.52 , then i could see the server IP at the top as same as it is shown in the image. – vishalaestro Jul 02 '17 at 02:16

Based on the image, it looks like a non-PWA that's been added to home screen. To see whether your app is recognized as a PWA, hold the app icon. If a menu pops up with options such as App Info, then it is a PWA. Otherwise you have other issues that's preventing your app from acting like a PWA, such as invalid SSL certificate, or start_url does not load, etc. – Grace W. Oct 05 '17 at 21:14

URL in standalone mode is a security measure taken by Google chrome while redirecting to other servers(Websites) and to avoid users from visiting malicious site. Any hacker can easily mimic a payment gateway and redirect user in his web app using full screen standalone mode.user will never be able to make out that he'll be visiting a fake site. Please check the below link, I've already answered this question in detail.
