How To Connect Your Controller To Your Iphone Ps4

While most die-hard gamers will give preference to a PC or game console to play their games, let's not forget that recent Android and iOS devices also offer great gaming features. There's a reason many console and PC-only games have recently appeared on the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store.

If you like to play games on both consoles and mobile phones, you will be glad to know that your PS4 controller can now be used to play games on your mobile devices. This makes it easy to play your favorite games on your mobile device as you don't have to learn new control layouts and you can use the default layout on your controller.

Since the PS4 controller uses Bluetooth to connect to the PS4 console, you can use this wireless (Bluetooth) feature to connect your controller to your mobile devices. The following guide covers everything from connecting the controller and reassigning game controls to permanently disconnecting the controller and connecting it to your console.

Use a PS4 controller with an Android device

Pairing a PS4 controller with an Android device is extremely easy. Just press two buttons on your controller, activate an option on your Android device, and you are ready to play your Android games with your PS4 controller.

This not only allows you to play games, but you can also navigate the Android interface using the controller. Command buttons, however, won't always work the way you want, but you have a solution for that, too.

Let's first see how to connect the two devices to each other:

• Unplug your PS4 controller from your console. Then press and hold the Share, distribute and P.S. buttons together for a few seconds. Release the buttons when your controller starts flashing white.
• Your controller is now ready to pair with your device.

• On your Android device, start the configurations app and press Bluetooth connection and device. Go ahead Pair a new device at the top to start looking for your wireless controller.

• Allow your device to find your PS4 controller. When the controller appears in the device list, tap on it to connect to it.

• The white light will stop flashing on your controller, indicating that your Android device has successfully paired with the controller.

You can press the navigation buttons on the controller to navigate the options on your Android device. I played around with it for a while to access various options in the Settings app and it worked like a charm.

Connect a PS4 controller to an iPhone / iPad

Pairing a PS4 controller with an iPhone or iPad is as easy as doing it on an Android device. However, there is a requirement for your iOS device.

Your iPhone and iPad must be running the latest version of iOS 13 for your device to connect to the PS4 controller. If you're not running this version of iOS, it's time to head over to Settings> General> Software update and update the device to the latest version available.

Once the iOS version has been updated, you are ready to pair your device with the PS4 controller. Hold Share, distribute and P.S. buttons together and your controller will start flashing. Head for Settings> Bluetooth on your device and press the controller to connect to it.

As soon as you log in, the controller light stops flashing. You are now ready to play and navigate your iOS device with your PS4 controller.

Fix lag issues with the driver

Sometimes the connection between your Android device and its controller can be interrupted. If this happens too often and causes too much inconvenience, you may be able to fix the problem by installing an app on your device.

There is an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect from Google Play Store, which allows you to solve many Bluetooth related issues on your device. It has an option called Continuous connection which ensures that your device is always connected to the controller (or any other bluetooth device for that matter).

Here's how to use the app to keep your two devices connected to each other:

• Pitch it Automatic Bluetooth connection app on your device when your device is connected to PS4 controller.
• Go ahead Advanced Options Followed by Continuous connections. Enter any number between two and ten and press Correct.

The app will make sure your devices stay connected all the time. However, you can change the numbers in the option if the current one doesn't work for you.

Remap game controls to work with the PS4 controller

If you have already started playing with the PS4 controller on your Android device, you will notice that some of the game control options are not really optimized for your external controller. This is because many games do not yet have support for external controllers.

However, you can change this with an application. Enter Octopus, a key remapping app that allows you to change which key does what on your device. Using this application you can customize the controls of your game to adapt to the controls of your PS4 controller.

Just download and install the app on your device, add your game to the list, and start customizing the controls.

Disconnect the controller from your devices

When you are done playing games on your devices with the PS4 controller, you may want to disconnect the controller and pair it with your console.

• On your Android or iOS device, open the Bluetooth option in the Settings app. Next, press and hold the PS4 controller in the device list and select Disconnect Followed by Forget.

• Your controller will be disconnected from your devices and ready to pair with your console. Connect the controller to the console with a USB cable and press the P.S. button.
