PS5 Dualsense controller pairing everytime

Hi. I'm having a problem with my ipad/controller. I paired it the first time and it worked fine. Then if i turn Bluetooth off and on again the controller would connect but not work. To make it work i have to remove it from Bluetooth and pair again. I tried with 2 different controllers. Both having same issue.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Can’t connect Xbox controller model 1708 with iPhone 11 Pro Max Yes, I put the controller in pairing mode and went to the bluetooth settings on the iPhone and verified bluetooth was enabled and searching for the device I can connect the phone to other bluetooth devices, like speakers, car, headphones; none are connected while trying to connect the Xbox controller Works on my iPad Pro Tried upgrading iPhone to iOS 14.6 Tried rebooting iPhone Unpaired controller w/ iPad Tried multiple times — Update: of course, as soon as I ask the question, it works. I think what I had to do was Have both iPhone and iPad next to each other, with bluetooth enabled Allow controller to connect to iPad Put controller in pairing mode Use Bluetooth settings on iPad to disconnect controller Controller now shows up on iPhone

Pairing a PS4 DUALSHOCK-4 wireless controller with iPad Pro 11 2018 Not succeeding. I followed instructions. I pushed the PS button and the share button together. Even this part is not so clear but I did get the DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller to go from "other devices" to "My Devices". However, it says "Not Connected". If I push the item to try to connect it, I get a message, after the circle spins a bit, "Connection Unsuccessful - use the controls on Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller to connect". If I press both the PS button and the share button, and then the item, I briefly see that the light on the controller gets solid and it briefly says "connected". But then it suddenly changes to Not Connected and the solid light on the controller goes off. I am not connected. How can I connect to this device? I bought this controller to play games on my iPad pro however clearly the device currently is incapable of making a stable connection. Something I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Jeff
