Did you tap “Show All”? If they aren’t listed after Show All the app developer did not design the app to sync through iCloud. They may sync with their own servers if you log in with the same name on both devices.

You download missing apps from the App Store. Note that not all apps support both iPhone and iPad, some that do have different versions for the 2 platforms (and possibly different prices). The ones that do have compatible versions will have a “cloud” download icon instead of GET or a cost button.
Ah, so it is the content that isn’t syncing. On both devices go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn on the switches for the apps that you want to sync between devices.
If the apps in question store data on an external server you will have to log in on each device to connect to the server. You should only have to do this once.
I thought I had found a way previously so I went out of iCloud menu to main settings menu and then clicked on App Store. That is where I found “Automatically install free and paid apps purchased on other devices”
Thanks - the apps are on both devices but starting at ' welcome' screen with no option to click already joined etc
Thanks again. The apps don't appear in the list of ones using iCloud, so no toggle button
