How to Run iOS Apps on Mac

 

iPhone and iPad applications are pretty useful and enticing when compared with Mac’s apps. However, your Mac doesn’t have all the apps your iPad and iPhone have. If you want to play your iPhone and iPad apps on Mac, you have come to the right place as in this article, I will show you just that.

Remember, the method we will follow in this article only works on the latest Mac systems. If your Mac runs on Apple Silicone, such as an M1 processor, you would be able to play your iPhone and iPad apps directly on your Mac computer. You also have to make sure that your Mac has macOS Big Sur or the latest operating systems to use iOS applications.

Once you have the above things we have mentioned, you are all set to use iPhone apps on your MacBook or Mac desktop.

A Simple Way to Play iOS Apps on Mac

Please follow the given down instructions to start using your iOS applications on your Mac:

1. On your computer’s dock, tap the launchpad icon.
2. You will now see several icons and apps on your computer screen.
3. Select the app store from that list.
4. If the app store icon is not there, you can use the search bar located on the top to find it and open it.
5. You can also use the spotlight search feature to find this application.
6. Once you have launched App Store, search for any iPhone or iPad app you want to download and install to your device.
7. You will not see the iPhone apps directly after searching. This is because the app store is set to Mac app only.
8. You need to click on the “iPhone and iPad apps” option.
9. You should now see the app you are looking for in the App Store for downloading and installing.
10. If you cannot see the app you are searching for, the developer may not have developed it yet for Mac.
