"This Week in KDE Apps" brings the news that Dolphin gets new looks, and its connectivity to Samba shares improves; Photos, the image viewer that works both on desktops and mobiles, can share photos again; and KRetro, the app for retro gaming, gets one step closer to being incubated as an official KDE app, among many other things.

I'm fairly new to Linux, so I might be missing something obvious, but I'm super confused by some of these.

Photos, the image viewer that works both on desktops and mobiles

Not available for either Android or iOS.

Merkuro was built with the idea to be usable on desktop, on mobile and everything in between

Not available for either Android or iOS.

So, what do they mean by "usable on (...) mobile"? Is it only for mobile Linux distros?

Yeah, you could technically install a Linux distro on a phone or a tablet since some support ARM processors. And KDE is designed to support small form factor touch screens. I believe Pine Phone ships with it by default.
