Because the game is on a touchscreen, buttons appear on the screen. You can tap to run, drive, fight, shoot, and do missions. You can also change button size and layout in the settings.
The iOS version has better textures, better lighting, and smoother characters compared to the old PS2 version. Buildings look sharper, cars shine more, and water effects look nicer.
This is a helpful feature for iOS users with multiple devices. You can play on your iPhone, then continue on your iPad through the cloud save option.
If touch controls are hard, you can connect a Bluetooth controller like Xbox, PlayStation, or MFi controller. This makes gameplay feel closer to the console version.
You can listen to in-game radio stations just like the old version. iOS also supports your own music library in some updates.
