Connect your iOS Device to your Controllers in 3 Easy Steps
Is your iphone’s touch controls costing you the win in Modern Combat Versus: Online? Ever wanted an easier way to control your character as he navigates Stardew Valley? Well if you’ve got a spare DualShock 4 or Xbox Wireless controller lying around, why not consider hooking it up to your iPhone or iPad?
Starting with iOS13, iPadOS13, and macOS Catalina, Apple devices and computers have been configured to support pairing with Xbox and PlayStation wireless game controllers. These include:
– Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth (Model 1708)
– PlayStation DualShock 4 Wireless Controller
– MFi (Made for iOS) Bluetooth controllers, e.g. SteelSeries Nimbus, Horipad Ultimate
Note: Make sure that your controllers are all up-to-date and that your device is within bluetooth range of your device.
To pair your controller with your iOS device, you only need to follow three easy steps.
Step 1:
Begin with your controller turned off. Put your controller in pairing mode:
– With an Xbox Wireless controller press the Xbox button to turn on the controller, then press and hold the connect button for a few seconds.
– With a DualShock 4 Wireless Controller press and hold the PS and Share buttons at the same time until the light bar begins to flash.
– For MFi controllers, follow the instructions provided in their manuals.
Step 2:
On your iOS device, tap Settings, and turn on bluetooth.
Step 3:
Find the name of your controller under “Other Devices”. Tap the name to connect. To unpair, tap the information button next to the name of the device, then tap “Forget This Device”.
And with that it’s done, your phone should respond to your controller inputs. Make sure the game that you’re playing fully supports controller input before trying it out. Remember to use our iTunes for any game purchases.
