Keyboard not working when playing the iOS version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on macOS
Last Updated: August 18, 2025
Question: Whenever I attempt to play the iOS version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on my macOS computer, I cannot use the keyboard to control the game, only the mouse/trackpad works. How do I fix this?
Answer: The iOS version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas available on the Mac App Store is designed to be played on iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads. While it can be played on some macOS systems, the game and controls are designed for mobile devices and will default to mouse or trackpad controls to emulate playing on a touch screen device.
Players can use a wired or Bluetooth game controller to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
