The game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains one of the most popular mobile games even 20 years after release. Millions of users have downloaded it on Android, and many want to use cheat codesto simplify the passage or add fun. But if on PCs or consoles entering cheats is intuitive, then on smartphones this process raises questions. Where exactly should I enter the combinations? Why do some codes not work? And how not to lose progress due to improper use?

In this article we will analyze all methods of activating cheats in the mobile version GTA San Andreas, including hidden nuances of the interface, differences between versions of the game and possible errors. You will also learn what codes guaranteed to work in the latest updates of 2026 and how to avoid bugs when using them. Let's separately focus on security - why you shouldn't download "mod menu" from dubious sources and how to protect your account in Google Play.

Where to enter cheat codes in GTA San Andreas on Android

Unlike the PC version, where codes are entered directly during the game, on Android the process is a little more complicated. There are two official methods:

  1. Through the game menu - the classic method, similar to the console version.
  2. Through a virtual keyboard is a unique feature of the mobile port.

Let's consider both options in detail.

Method 1: Input through the game menu (recommended)

This is the most reliable method that works in 99% of cases. Here are step-by-step guide:

Pause → "Settings" (gear in the upper right corner)

Select "Enter cheat code" (last item in the list)

Enter a combination WITHOUT spaces and press "OK"

Confirm activation (if required)-->

Important: some codes are not saved after restarting the game. For example, immortality (HESOYAM) or weapons (PROFESSIONALSKIT) are reset when exiting the main menu. To avoid this, use saves (SAVE in the pause menu) immediately after activating the cheat.

If the "Enter cheat code" item is not in the menu, it means:

  • 📱 You have pirated version games (cheats are often disabled in it).
  • 🔄 The game has not been updated to the latest version (update in Google Play).
  • 🎮 You are playing in mod version (for example, GTA SA: Definitive Edition), where cheats work differently.

Method 2: Virtual keyboard (for older versions)

In game versions until 2.00 (2013–2018) there was an alternative way to enter cheats - through virtual keyboard, which appeared when you clicked on the screen in certain places. Now this method is not officially supported, but some mods restore it.

If you still want to try:

  1. Start the game and wait for the save to load.
  2. Tap your finger on upper right corner of the screen (where the map is displayed).
  3. A translucent keyboard should appear - enter the code in capital letters.
  4. Press Enter (or check mark).
⚠️ Attention: This method often leads to game freezing on modern smartphones (due to incompatibility with new versions of Android). We recommend using only the first method.

Why cheat codes do not work: 5 main reasons

Even if you entered the combination correctly, the code may not work. Here are the most common reasons and their solutions:

Problem Cause Solution
Code is not activated Typo or extra spaces Enter the code in capital letters, without spaces or symbols
The game freezes after entering Incompatibility with the mod Remove all mods and check on a clean version
Cheats are reset Autosave is disabled Manually save the game after activating the code
There is no "Enter cheat" item Pirate assembly Buy a license in Google Play or App Store
The code works, but with bugs Outdated version of the game Update GTA San Andreas to latest version

If you are sure that the code was entered correctly, but it does not work, try:

  • 🔄 Restart the game — sometimes cheats are activated after a restart.
  • 📱 Clear game cache in Android settings (Settings → Applications → GTA SA → Memory → Clear cache).
  • 🎮 Try another code with a similar effect (the list of working combinations is in the next section).

Before installing the mod, take a screenshot of the list of files in the game folder. If after installation unknown files appear (for example, libgame.so with the modification date of today), delete them and check your phone with an antivirus.

How to save progress when using cheats
