Cant play any library games on Steam Mobile

[mjfrank11]

Hello, not sure if this is the right area but my question/issue is this - I have Steam on my desktop PC which works fine. I just downloaded/installed Steam mobile on my iPad and am currently logged in. I see the list of games in my library however I do not see any option to play any of my games that were saved in the library, nor do I see any option to install those on my iPad either. All I see is under Remote just an option to uninstall the game from my PC??? Please advise why I cannot seem to play/access these games in my library (paid for) and / or what I need to do to play on my iPad. Thank you!

Simple answer, Steam sells PC games.
Your iPad is not a PC.

Want to play games on your iPad? Get them from the Apple appstore.

Then why have a Steam Mobile App in the Apple App Store in the 1st place??

It's a companion app for 2FA and other stuff.

It never was claimed that you can use it to run Steamgames on an Android or iOS device.

you want the steam link app

And even if Steam mobile app was able to run the games your phone cannot run it due to its specs.However you can still play games on your phone by using Geforce now which based on cloud gaming.For instance you can play games outside such as school and work.
