Gamesir controller no longer working after iOS 13.4 update

Had my Gamesir G6 controller for over 6 months now and have been using it with no issues. Now I’ve updated to iOS 13.4 it is no longer working and I am unable to downgrade back to iOS 13.3.1 as this is now unsigned.


The device connects via Bluetooth as normal but I don’t get any touchscreen inputs when trying to use the controller. Please fix this Bluetooth peripheral issue as I’m sure this is effecting many other peripheral devices

Hello Sir Tom3dwards,


I also sent Apple a feedback regarding this issue we all have with the touch interface being disabled on bluetooth. Maybe it might also help that we need to point out to Apple that it’s not only the CarPlay app that uses bluetooth. That they need to identify that it is indeed CarPlay actively using the bluetooth so that they will disable the touch interface for safety reasons and not because of other gaming apps that need the touch interface actively. Hope they can solve this soon. Keep us updated yeah? Thanks!

Exactly, I am iphone 11 Max user, same happed to me with flydigi Wasp 2 Elite controller worth 100$, Bluetooth touch screen Mapping/G-Touch or whatever you call it, is not working with any game controller which uses this function to simulate touch inputs on screen using Bluetooth connection.

why apple took away this great features. Our gaming accesorries are worthless now and worthless is iPhone as point of view of a Gamer

I was aware of the bluetooth changes in the iOS 13.4 version and had turned off the automatic update. Until one morning, when I woke up, I saw that my iPhone had been updated! I didn't expect Apple to do that, so honestly I was one of the first users that jailbroke his iPhone, hoping to fix the Bluetooth touch screen ability problem. I hope it will be returned in the new iOS versions.
