The Angler is currently a PC exclusive NPC. He was added in 1.2.4, and mobile is currently at 1.2.1 equivalent. You can check out more from Version History.

Note: when I said PC exclusive, I just meant that the update has not yet come to console or mobile, as they are quite far behind in terms of content.
