A month ago, they revealed it and it's finally official that Google Stadia is now available on iPhone and iPad iOS smartphones. Owing to Apple's constraints and its requirements with the App Store, the streaming video game service had to be introduced with an app in the browser and not through a native app, not in the way that Google would like.
Google Stadia's free version provides games that are fully free and without limitations. At the moment 'Destiny 2' and 'Super Bomberman R' are included in the future we'll definitely see more. This free edition provides everyone with the ability to test Google Stadia in the browser with only a Google account and without significant problems, outside the small catalog. Ideal before switching to the payment plan to verify how the gameplay is.
Since it is not an app in the browser but a web app, it is not accessed directly but via the browser (Safari, Chrome or whatever). On the home screen, however it is possible to create a shortcut that places an icon close to that of apps. You must go to the Safari Sharing menu, open the Stadia website and click "Add to home screen" to do this. With this along with the rest of the applications, we will have the Stadia icon and its name.

When publishing games and apps, these browser complications are not due to anything other than the App Store policies of Apple. Specifically, the rules state that it is not possible to distribute software providing remote access to other cloud-based games or apps. The explanation for Apple's inability to regulate the content of such games (sexual, violent or otherwise is that they are in a position to break the rest of their rules.

However the Internet and the doors that a browser opens do not have power. The same steps that we saw in Microsoft xCloud, NVIDIA GeForce and Amazon Luna were followed by Google. Of course, Apple says the services might be available in practice, but with their conditions.
