Yes, but it's a bit of a hack. I managed to get some of my favorite mobile games running on my Steam Deck through an Android emulator. Took a bit of setup, but it's doable if you're willing to tinker!

Not directly, but there's a workaround! The Steam Deck runs on a Linux-based operating system, which means it can't natively play games from the iOS or Android app stores. However, you can install emulators or potentially use compatibility layers like Wine to run Android games. Just keep in mind this might require a bit of technical know-how and not all mobile games may work perfectly.
