This article will explain how to connect a DualSense to an iOS or iPadOS device. To connect the DuelSense to iOS and iPad OS, you must be running iOS 14.5 or newer or iPadOS 14.5 or newer. Go to Settings > General > About to see what version you're running.

  2. To put the controller into pairing mode press and hold the PS and Share Button until the light player indicator starts blinking.

  3. Open Bluetooth Settings on your iOS or iPadOS (Turn on Bluetooth if off)and scroll down to Other devices and the controller should be there.

  4. Simply select the controller and once the controller Player Indicator stops blinking, you're connected!

To save battery power on the controller, return to Bluetooth settings and tap the ⓘ icon next to the PS5 controller, and tap Disconnect.
