Did you know your DualSense controller works on your iPhone too?

Every PS5 comes with a DualSense controller, the hi-tech default joypad for this generation of PlayStation consoles. But what many PlayStation fans may not realize is that the DualSense can connect to other devices besides the PS5.

In a Reddit thread that has gained popularity, a PlayStation owner shared a game-changing tip: "Connect your controller to your phone." This simple trick allows you to use your DualSense controller with your iPhone.

Discover a Whole New Gaming Experience

By linking your DualSense controller to your iPhone, you can enjoy the controller support offered by many games. Popular titles like Call of Duty: Mobile can be played with the DualSense controller, providing a more immersive gaming experience.

Additionally, you can search for "controller support" games on the App Store to find a plethora of options optimized for use with a controller.

One Reddit user shared their experience: "I have Stardew Valley on my phone and I've hated playing it on the phone because it's such a pain with the touch screen. But being able to use a controller synced to your phone makes it all the more better."

How to Connect Your DualSense to Your iPhone

Connecting your DualSense controller to your iPhone is a simple process:

1. Make sure the DualSense controller is turned off.
2. Press and hold the PS button and the Create (or Share) button simultaneously.
3. Continue holding until the light bar on the controller begins to flash.
4. This indicates that the DualSense is in pairing mode.
5. Go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iPhone and select the DualSense controller from the list of devices.
6. If the DualSense has paired but isn't connected, press the PS button on your controller.

Enhance Your Gaming On-the-Go

To take your gaming experience to the next level, consider investing in a grip or attachment for your iPhone that allows it to attach to the DualSense controller. This way, you can transform your iPhone and controller into a portable games console.

PS5 owners have been thrilled with this newfound capability, with one fan expressing their gratitude: "Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. This just solved a heartbreaking problem for my niece whose hands don't work sometimes. I never would've imagined this was remotely possible."
