Hello, I am trying to make a Lvl 6 Bard in the D&D Beyond mobile app and got to the Ability Score Improvement section where I can either improve an ability score or select a feat. I decided to select a feat, but the only one showing up is Grappler. I would like to choose actor. D&D Beyond says that that feat can be found in the Player's Handbook, which I have downloaded. I have already tried closing out of the app and restarting, but it still is not showing up for me. Is there something I'm missing? I just don't understand why I can't select anything other than Grappler.
Grappler is the only "free" feat available via the App. If you were able to download the Player's Handbook to the App because you're in a campaign that's sharing the content with you, then you can only use the shared content on characters within that campaign. If your Bard hasn't Joined the campaign, then there's the problem.

Ok, thank you so much! I understand now. Also as I've been going through the character sheet, it is the same thing for backgrounds where I can't choose Entertainer, would that be the same deal?

Yes indeed. There are just 6 free backgrounds in the Basic Rules. You're also limited to 1 subclass for each class, and only so many races.
