Connecting your controller

So iOS 13 was released back in September 2019, and with it came the awesome feature that lets you connect your PS4 or Xbox controller with your apple devices, today we'll focus on the iPhone.

To get connected, simply take the following steps:

• On your iPhone:

  • Settings -> Bluetooth -> Turn On

• On your PS4 controller:

  • Hold the PS button + Share button for about 4 seconds until a light flashes

• On your iPhone:

  • See "Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller" and tap to pair and connect

You can verify your connect because the light on your PS4 controller will be on and coloured! Awesome!
