How do I get the hover to work on mobile devices? On mobile devices I want what is displayed on hover on desktop to be automatically displayed

Question

I wanted to use @media (hover: hover) but I could not get it to work. I have three images in a row that display a text overlay when they are hovered over with a mouse. Currently, whenever I add @media (hover: hover) and switch to a mobile view, the images remain unaltered. I either want to get @media (hover: hover) working or try something else entirely. This is my first time designing a website and using stack overflow, so I am a little out of my depth. I did not see any questions already posted that were similar enough to my problem to help me achieve my goal. My CSS is below.

    .card-container
{
    margin-top: 10%;
}

.card-container h1
{
    font-family: merriweather;
}

.card
{
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.card:before
{
    position: absolute;
    content: '';
    width: 80%;
    height: 220%;
    background: rgba(217, 153, 35, 0.7);
    top: -50%;
    left: -100%;
    z-index: 1;
    transform: rotate(25deg);
    transform-origin: center top 0;
    transition: .5s;
}

.card:hover:before
{
    left: 10%;
}

.card img
{
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

.card-text
{
    width: 100%;
    padding: 0 20px;
    position: absolute;
    top: -100%;
    color: #ffff;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 2;
    transition: 1.1s;
}

.card-text h3
{
    font-family: merriweather;
    font-weight: 900;
}

.card-text h5
{
    font-family: lora;
}

.card:hover .card-text
{
    top: 80px;
}

Answer 1

In mobile, you need a combination of hover and active to hover element.

So, you need to declare in your css like.

.card:hover, .card:active{
//your hover effect.
}

Answer 2

You just need to use combine CSS selector properties in responsive media queries.

i.e.- .class:hover, .class:active, .class: focus
