Anyone not seeing the Settings > General > GAME CONTROLLER option like me? Does anyone know what to do? iPad is up to date. I have restarted it, and nothing.

I have been able to connect my Joy-Con from Nintendo Switch and it seems to have some functions. But When I go into Settings > General > GAME CONTROLLER (this section or option is not present)


Has anyone else had an issue with this and was able to fix it?

Only explicitly supported Game Controllers, when paired with iPad, will appear within Game Controller settings.

Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device - Apple Support


Other Game Controllers may only have limited support - and will not necessarily appear in your iPad's Game Controller settings.
