In GTA San Andreas Mobile (iOS and Android), activating traditional cheat codes like on consoles or PC isn't straightforward because there's no keyboard to type them in. However, here are the main ways to use cheats or cheat-like features on the mobile version:
1. Using On-Screen Cheat Menus (if available)
Some versions of the mobile game include an in-game cheat menu you can access from the pause menu or settings.
Check if your version has a "Cheats" option there where you can toggle cheats on/off.
2. Using External Keyboards or Controllers
If you connect a Bluetooth keyboard to your device, you might be able to enter cheat codes just like on PC.
Some Bluetooth controllers support button combos that trigger cheats.
3. Using Third-Party Cheat Apps or Save Editors (Not Recommended)
Some apps claim to enable cheats by modifying game files or save data.
These come with risks: potential malware, corrupting your game, or violating terms of service.
4. Using Mods (Android Only)
Android users can install mods that add cheat features.
iOS is more locked down, so mods are harder and riskier.

Summary:
Mobile versions don't officially support cheat code typing.
Best way: use external keyboard/controller or cheat menus if your game has them.
Be cautious about third-party cheat apps or mods.
I have primarily been using mods on mobile to have the cheat, because it is not possible to type in codes there. In my opinion, I am sometimes happy to play without using cheats.
