Quick Steps to Make the Connection
Connecting your Nintendo Switch controller to a phone is easier than you might think. First, make sure your controller is charged and ready to go.
Next, on your phone, navigate to the Bluetooth settings and turn Bluetooth on. Then, press and hold the small pairing button on your Nintendo Switch controller until the lights start flashing. This means it’s in pairing mode. Now, look at your phone’s Bluetooth device list, and you should see the Nintendo Switch controller pop up as an available device. Tap on it to pair, and voila! You’re connected.
Game On With Your Switch Controller and Phone
Once connected, you can start using your Nintendo Switch controller for any mobile game that supports external gamepads. It’s a game-changer for mobile gaming, giving you the precision and comfort of a full-sized game controller right in your hands.
Remember, not all mobile games support external controllers, so check the game’s settings or information page to see if your favorites are compatible. But for those that do, you’re in for a treat.
