What is how to connect ps5 controller to iphone?

Connecting a PS5 DualSense controller to an iPhone allows you to play mobile games and use apps that support controllers more comfortably. Here's how:

  1. Preparation: Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 14.5 or later, as this version introduced native support for PS5 controllers. Ensure your controller is charged.

  2. Entering Pairing Mode: On your DualSense controller, simultaneously press and hold the PlayStation button (the PS logo) and the Share button (to the left of the touchpad). Keep holding them until the light bar around the touchpad starts flashing blue. This indicates the controller is in pairing mode.

  3. Connecting via Bluetooth:

    • On your iPhone, go to Settings.
    • Select Bluetooth.
    • Wait for "DualSense Wireless Controller" to appear in the list of available devices.
    • Tap on "DualSense Wireless Controller" to connect. The light bar on the controller will turn solid blue (or another color indicating controller number) when successfully paired.
  4. Troubleshooting:

    • If the controller doesn't appear in the Bluetooth list, ensure it's in pairing mode (flashing blue).
    • If it pairs but doesn't work in games, make sure the game supports controllers. Many iOS games do, but not all.
    • Disconnecting: To disconnect, either turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone, or unpair the controller from the Bluetooth settings. You can also simply turn off the controller by holding down the PS button until it turns off.
