You cannot directly install apps from files on iOS devices like iPhones and iPads. Apple's App Store is the exclusive platform for downloading and installing apps on iOS devices.
Here's why:
- Security: Apple prioritizes security and restricts app installations to the App Store to protect users from malicious software.
- App Review Process: All apps in the App Store undergo a thorough review process to ensure they meet Apple's quality and safety standards.
To install an app on your iOS device, you must follow these steps:
- Open the App Store: Locate the App Store app on your home screen.
- Search for the app: Use the search bar to find the app you want to install.
- Tap on the app: Select the app from the search results.
- Tap "Get" or "Install": This will initiate the download and installation process.
Note: You may need to enter your Apple ID password or use Touch ID/Face ID to confirm the installation.
