How To Connect Xbox Controller To iPhone

The Xbox One controller is the main game controller for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X home video game consoles, and it is in charge of maintaining the overall layout found in the Xbox 360 controller, but with several tweaks to its design, like new shape, new analog sticks, shoulder buttons, and triggers.

If you are not aware, an updated revision of the controller will be added to the Xbox Series X set to be launched later this year. It has an upgraded build, a smaller body, a “Share” button, a flat pad that looks like Elite Controller, and a USB-C connector.

It was just after the fresh iOS 13 version was released that iOS devices like iPhones, iPods, and iPads began to be supported by Microsoft’s Xbox controllers. This means that any recent Xbox controller can be used on your iPhone if you need to play video games that run on iOS.

Hacking, special cables, or 3rd-party hardware are not required in any way, and you just have to connect your Xbox controller to your iPhone and follow the easy instructions below. See How To Connect Xbox Controller To iPhone:

How Can I Connect Xbox Controller To iPhone?

  • Head to Settings on your iPhone.
  • Go to “Bluetooth settings” on your iOS device.
  • Make sure your phone’s Bluetooth is enabled.
  • Power on your Xbox controller by pressing the Xbox logo button that is visible in the middle of the controller.

Be aware that only the Xbox controllers that support Bluetooth will connect to your iPhone. If you are not sure if your Xbox controller has Bluetooth support, check the controller’s box to confirm. The controller itself will provide information on its Bluetooth support.

The most recent version of Xbox controllers that support Bluetooth comes with an audio jack. Therefore, if your controller is relatively new and it has a regular audio jack, you should be fine. More ancient editions of the Xbox controllers come with a square port instead.
