So you can connect your PS4 controller to the iPhone with iOS 13

Today we are going to teach you how to connect the Xbox and PS4 controller to the iPhone or iPad . A great way to play the games that we have in the App Store , without having to use the controls that appear on the screen.

We have always wanted a controller to be able to play games from our mobile device. Apple, the truth is that so far it has not released a controller itself to play games. Although it is not ruled out that with the arrival of the juice platform that we will see soon, Apple will present us with its own control.

But until then, we can use our PS4 or Xbox controller to play our favorite games, as long as they are compatible.

How to use Xbox or PS4 controller on iPhone or iPad:

It's really simple and believe it or not, you will see a hidden function of your Xbox and PS4 controller. And it is that as we all know, these are connected via Bluetooth, so we can use both controls on any other device. Of course, as long as the device allows us.

In this case, Apple gives us the possibility to use. All we have to do is press the “Share” and “PS” button on our remote at the same time, for at least 10 seconds. We will see how a white light on the front of the remote comes on and blinks.

Press both buttons at the same time to activate Bluetooth

This tells us that Bluetooth is already connected and therefore we can search for it in the Bluetooth tab, in the Settings of our iPhone or iPad.

Click on this tab and that's it, our controller is connected and fully available to be used. Now all we have to do is look for a game compatible with that function and let's play!!

  • Wait for it to blink rapidly.
  • On the iPad or iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth. The name "Dualshock" should appear.
  • Press the button and you'll be connected.

Note that this function is only available for iOS 13.
