Can’t play stadia on iPhone

Jump to Best Response

I just got stadia on my iPhone and iPad, and was really excited to try it out, but then I tried to play destiny 2 on my phone and it keeps telling me to download the stadia app even though I am already on the app. My friend is able to load up the game no problem but I won’t let me.

Hi @HotShot,

Sorry to hear about your troubles.  Here is the suggested support from the Stadia support page:

Add the Stadia web app shortcut to your home screen

For the best experience on your iPhone or iPad, follow the steps below to add a web shortcut to Stadia to your device's home screen. You'll only need to perform these steps once.

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, launch the Safari app.
  2. Navigate to stadia.com and sign into your Stadia account.
  3. A prompt will appear letting you know you can play in your browser. Select Got it.
  4. The Stadia home screen will appear in Safari.
  5. In Safari, select the Share icon 
     

    .

    • On an iPhone, this icon appears at the bottom of your phone's screen.
    • On an iPad, this icon appears at the top right of your tablet's screen.
  6. A share menu will appear. Select the "Add to Home Screen" option. It will appear next to a plus icon 
     

     

    .
  7. Return to your device's home screen and tap the Stadia web app icon 
     

    . This web icon has a different design than the Stadia app 

     

     available from the App Store.

Whenever you want to play Stadia on your iPhone or iPad, just tap the Stadia web app icon 

Note: For more information about Safari features, go to the Safari support site. Although you cannot play games with the Stadia app 

 that's available from the App Store®, you can use it to set up a new Stadia Controller and add games to your library.
