How to run iPhone and iPad apps on Mac

If you have a Mac that is supported by Apple Silicon, you no longer need to remove your iPhone or iPad to run some of your favorite mobile apps. As long as you are using macOS 11 Big Sur or a newer version, you can download and install iPhone and iPad apps on your Mac.

Before you can run an iPhone or iPad app on a Mac or MacBook, you must first download it from Apple's App Store.

Start by clicking the Launchpad icon located at the base of your computer.

Next, click the “App Store” button. If you can't find it, use the search bar to locate the app.

Alternatively, you can use Apple’s built-in Spotlight to open the app. The easiest way to do this is by pressing Cmd + Space Bar on your keyboard. The search will appear in the center of screen . Type “App Store” and select the first entry.

Now you can enter the name of the iPhone or iPad app in the search bar located at the top left corner of the window.

You won't immediately see the app you're looking for—that's because the App Store defaults to showing only Mac apps. Click the "iPhone & iPad Apps" list to switch views.

If the developer of the iPhone or iPad apps chooses to make the mobile app available on Mac, you'll now see it on the results.

Click the “Get” button or Download to start the download process.

Αργότερα, αφού κλείσετε το App Store, μπορείτε να ανοίξετε και να εκτελέσετε την εφαρμογή iPhone ή iPad στο Mac σας εντοπίζοντας την στο Launchpad ή χρησιμοποιώντας την αναζήτηση Spotlight, όπως κάναμε παραπάνω.

Unfortunately, there are no Macs with touchscreens, so you'll have to interact with your trackpad, mouse , or keyboard in any apps or games you download.
