How to Connect PS5 Controller to iPhone or Android Phone
Jul. 9, 2024Are you a PS5 gamer who is also trying to get into some mobile gaming? Well, there’s some good news for you, as you can easily connect your PS5 controller to an iPhone or Android device. If you’re just starting off with mobile gaming and playing games like BGMI or CoD Mobile, two-finger layouts will only limit you, and getting used to three or four-finger ones takes time. That’s exactly where you may start missing your PS5 controller a bit too much. Well, to make things easy, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to connect your PS5 controller to an iPhone or Android device. Let’s begin!
How to Connect PS5 Controller to Android Phone
On your Android device, turn Bluetooth on and get it ready for pairing with the PS5 controller. Once that’s out of the way, follow these steps:
On your iOS or iPadOS device, check if Bluetooth is turned on. If not, do so and head into the Bluetooth panel. Then, follow these steps:
Like on Android, iOS doesn’t take you through a pairing request window and directly connects it, which is pretty convenient. Now, all you have to do is open up the game of your choice and play it. In our testing, the controller works best with games like Genshin Impact and GRID Autosport.
However, if you want, you can also use it for shooters like CoD Mobile and BGMI, but it will be trickier to hit those shots due to lack of aim assist like on PS5-supported games. Also, if you’re playing a game and the controller doesn’t respond, check if the game has controller support in the first place.
Well, that brings us to the end of this guide. But, if you do have any other related queries, feel free to drop them in the comments down below!
