It's a progressive web app, which means when installed it has some extra powers that other web apps don't (like more access to device APIs, offline support, etc.) It was actually what all iPhone apps were meant to be before Apple gave up and made the app store.
Sadly iOS's PWA support has fallen a bit by the wayside compared to PWAs in Android but it's picking up.
