What is equivalent of hover on mobile?

The hover effect for mobile buttons is a ripple effect. A ripple effect provides the visual feedback users need when they tap a button. Users see a ripple animation on the button that assures them their finger hit the target accurately. If they don't see a ripple effect, they know they mistapped the button.

How do you hover on a touch screen?

A hover action is simulated by a long press (tap-and-hold).

Is there a hover state on mobile?

There are no mouse devices on mobile, so users don't have the luxury of using hover effects. Using a hover effect on mobile apps causes buttons to stay stuck in the hovered state when tapped. This stickiness not only confuses users, but it frustrates them when they're forced to double-tap buttons to initiate an action.
