Why ios 13.4 and above does not support the touch screen bluetooth? Why did Apple take this opportunity away? Please return the function back!

"Touch screen bluetooth...." what? What device are you talking about? Please give the manufacturer and model. Why do you believe it's no longer supported?

Before IOS 13.3, We can play pubg mobile using third party device with keyboard and mouse. I used geekgamer app and Lingzha 2 which can map any key on keyboard and mouse where to touch on screen. Sample attached. so people can play game like PC. After IOS update to 13.4, this function on IOS was taken out and app not working anymore. Tested on Iphone XS max, IPad air 4, and iphone 15 pro max.

This function was not bring back by apple until now even though feedback given to support team.

Contacted Lingzha 2 support and informed us that apple blocked access to Gtouch function (bluetooth touch keymapping anywhere on screen). There is nothing they can do if apple block access.


Hope they will bring back one day for better gaming experience. But ;')


I changed to redmagic 8 pro android for gaming. ( It was fantastic for gaming )

  1. I can HDMI out to monitor with 2k resolution and 144 FPS. I pad & iphone HDMI out max 60 fps only.
  2. I can use third party device like lingzha 2 without issue. use usb connection with 0 input delay.


so if want better gaming experience, change to android.

if want secure stable os, take iphone ipad. No choice since they are so strict.


(Sorrry. My english writing skill is quite bad.)

I have made two suggestions, neither of which you seem to have paid any attention to.


  1. If you tell me what the device is and the make and model number (and maybe some more details about what "doesn't support" means), I, or some other user, might be able to help you.
  2. Contact the manufacturer of the device and ask for help.


So, those are two things you can do.

No, that is nowhere in this thread. You told me what iPad you have but never anything substantive about the Bluetooth device with which you're having trouble. It's also not clear what you're attempting to convey with that screenshot.


I will leave you with this:


Pair a third-party Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Best of luck.

Insofar as I can tell from the attached images, the keyboard and mouse are wired - not bluetooth - seemingly connected to the iPad using some kind of USB splitter/hub.


The mouse, gaming or otherwise, will only support the basic three button plus scroll wheel functions. Both the keyboard and mouse would likely require device drivers - which as both you and I know are unsupported unless incorporated within a companion App. I’ve no idea if the games will include explicit support for either of these devices.
