Hello chandhu224,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to get your PS5 controller to work with your iPhone or iPad. Looking at this Apple resource, the PS5 controller doesn't work with Apple devices yet, so please see if you have a compatible controller that you can use instead:



Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device



Cheers!

Everyone knew for at least two months that the ps5 was coming out and should have had there devices compatible ready for the new ps5 controller just like the PS4 controller but of course they didn’t. Well android is compatible with the new Xbox controller and the new ps5 controller so I’m seriously thinking about switching to Android so I can at least use my controller
