GTA San Andreas iOS — Full Game for iPhone and iPad

GTA San Andreas iOS is the complete, official Rockstar Games release rebuilt natively for Apple devices. Every mission, every vehicle, the full open world of Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas — all brought to iPhone and iPad with Retina display optimisation and MFi controller support. You play as Carl “CJ” Johnson, working your way back through Los Santos in the same story that made Grand Theft Auto San Andreas a global classic.

The GTA San Andreas iPhone and iPad experience is optimised for Apple silicon. On devices running A12 Bionic or newer — iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPad Pro — the game runs at up to 60fps with sharper textures than the original 2004 console release. Touch controls are intelligently placed around the screen, and the game auto-detects any paired Bluetooth controller, switching immediately to gamepad UI.

Because GTA San Andreas iOS is distributed exclusively through the App Store, it receives regular Apple compatibility patches and security updates. iCloud Save Sync keeps your game progress backed up and accessible across all your Apple devices. After the initial download, the game plays completely offline — no internet connection is needed for the full story mode on iPhone or iPad.

Want unlimited money, all missions unlocked, and a free download? Those features exist only in the Android Mod APK. The GTA San Andreas iOS App Store version is the official paid release without mod features.

Best performance: iPhone 11 or newer with A12 Bionic chip or better. On these devices the game runs at 60fps with full Retina quality.

Controller Support on iPhone & iPad

GTA San Andreas on iOS has one of the best controller implementations of any mobile game. When a supported controller is connected, the game immediately switches to controller button prompts and auto-hides the on-screen touch controls. Here are the supported options:

Xbox Wireless

Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One controllers. Connect via Bluetooth. Full button mapping works out of the box.

PS5 DualSense

PlayStation 5 DualSense controller works via Bluetooth on iOS 14.5 or newer. Adaptive triggers are not used by this game.

MFi Certified

Any MFi-certified gamepad (GameSir X2, Backbone One, Razer Kishi) works natively. These slide-on controllers turn your iPhone into a gaming device.

Tip: The Backbone One or Razer Kishi clip-on controllers are the best option for iPhone gaming. They attach directly to your phone so no lag or pairing is needed.

How to Download GTA San Andreas on iPhone

Open the App Store

Tap the blue App Store icon on your iPhone or iPad home screen. Make sure you are signed in to your Apple ID before proceeding.

Search for the Game

Tap the Search tab at the bottom, type GTA San Andreas, and hit search. Tap the official Rockstar Games listing — it shows the R* star logo as its icon.

Purchase and Download

Tap the price button ($6.99) and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password. The game will begin downloading automatically. With a good Wi-Fi connection, it takes around 5 to 10 minutes.

Launch and Set Up

When the download finishes, tap Open or find the game on your home screen. Accept any data permissions. Go to Options in-game to adjust graphics, touch layout, and audio settings before starting your first mission.

Connect a Controller (Optional but Recommended)

For the best experience, pair a supported gamepad via Bluetooth before launching the game. Go to iPhone Settings → Bluetooth, put your controller in pairing mode, and connect it. The game detects it automatically.

GTA San Andreas iOS — Frequently Asked Questions

Is GTA San Andreas free on iPhone?

No. The official App Store version costs $6.99. It does go on sale occasionally — sometimes as low as $0.99 during Rockstar promotions. There is no legitimate free iOS version. If you want a completely free experience with unlimited money and mods, our Android Mod APK is the correct choice.

Which iPhone models run GTA San Andreas?

The game supports iPhone 6S and newer running iOS 13 or higher. However, the best performance is on iPhone 11 or newer. On older devices like the 6S or 7, the game runs but may drop frames during busy scenes. iPhone 12 Pro and newer with the A14 chip runs the game smoothly at all times.

Can I get mods on GTA San Andreas for iPhone?

Not without jailbreaking. Apple's closed ecosystem does not allow sideloading APK files or CLEO mods on a standard iPhone. Jailbreaking can void your warranty, make your phone less secure, and break other apps. For a modded experience with unlimited money and all vehicles unlocked, the Android Mod APK is the safe and easy option.

Does GTA San Andreas on iOS work offline?

Yes. After the game downloads and installs, it works 100% offline. You do not need Wi-Fi or mobile data to play the full story mode on iPhone or iPad. This makes it ideal for playing during travel, flights, or anywhere without internet access.

How do I fix touch controls on iPhone?

Open the game and go to Options → Controls. You can adjust the opacity, size, and position of every on-screen button. Most players move the fire button higher and enlarge the analog sticks. Alternatively, connecting any supported controller removes on-screen touch controls entirely for the cleanest experience.

How large is the iOS download?

The initial App Store download is around 1.8 GB. After installing, additional game data is downloaded automatically, bringing the total storage footprint to approximately 2.5 GB. Make sure you have at least 3 GB of free space before starting the download.
