The controller is connected with Bluetooth to my IPAD, however it won’t connect to games?

I saw on YouTube you can connect a Xbox one controller to an IPAD and play Call of Duty Mobile on it. However I’ve bought the controller witch has Bluetooth. It connects to the IPAD but when I open the app on the tablet it doesn’t recognize the controller and so doesn’t work. Does anybody have a trick to make it work.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell
