            Bug ID: 232486
           Summary: [iOS 15] Loads after WKWebView session restore are
                    marked as app-initiated
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW

After restoring a session using -[WKWebView setInteractionState:], all loads within that WKWebView are marked as app-initiated, including back/forward navigation through the restored state, and tapping links. This continues until the next call to -[WKWebView loadRequest:].

This was fixed for Safari in bug 229721 by adding an |isAppInitiated| property to _WKSessionState, but other browsers on iOS still have the same issue since they can't use this SPI.

So an equivalent public API way to restore a session but have loads marked as non-app-initiated is needed, perhaps adding an extra argument to -[WKWebView setInteractionState:].

I've also filed FB9728909 for this bug.
