If you own a Mac powered by Apple Silicon\u00a0(such as the M1 processor), you no longer need to take out your iPhone or iPad to run some of your favorite mobile apps. As long as you\u2019re running macOS 11Big Sur or newer, you can download and install iPhone and iPad apps onto your Mac.<\/p>\n

Before you can run an iPhone or iPad app on your Mac or MacBook, you\u2019ll first need to download it from Apple\u2019s App Store.<\/p>\n

Start by clicking on the Launchpad icon found on your computer\u2019s dock.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Next, click on the \u201cApp Store\u201d button. If you can\u2019t find it, use the search bar found at the top of the bat to locate the app.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can use Apple\u2019s built-in Spotlight search\u00a0to open the app. The easiest way to do this is by pressing Cmd+Space Bar on your keyboard. The search dialog will appear in the center of your screen. Type in \u201cApp Store\u201d and select the first entry.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n

You can now enter the iPhone or iPad app\u2019s name into the search bar found in the top-left corner of the window.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t immedia<\/a>tely see the app you\u2019re looking for\u2014this is because the App Store defaults to only showing Mac apps. Click on the \u201ciPhone & iPad Apps\u201d listing to switch views.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

If the iPhone or iPad app developer elected to have their mobile app available on Mac, you will now see it on the results page.<\/p>\n

Info:<\/strong> You will have to authenticate yourself\u2014either using your MacBook\u2019s TouchID fingerprint sensor or your Apple ID password\u2014if this is your first time downloading the app and see the \u201cGet\u201d button. The cloud icon indicates that you\u2019ve downloaded the app before on one of your devices, and authentication isn\u2019t required.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Click the \u201cGet\u201d or Download button (which looks like a cloud icon) to start the download process.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

Once the iPhone or iPad app is installed on your Mac, select the \u201cOpen\u201d button. The app will open in its own window and run like any other application developed for your Mac.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Later, after you\u2019ve closed the App Store, you can open and run the iPhone or iPad app on your Mac by finding it in the Launchpad or by using Spotlight search, as we did above.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, there are no Macs with touchscreens. You will have to interact with any apps or game<\/a>s you download with your trackpad, mouse, or keyboard.<\/p>\n
