While not advertised on Apple’s website, it has been discovered that iOS 16 adds support for the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons and Pro Controller. The feature was highlighted on Twitter by Riley Testut<\/a>the developer behind iOS video game emulator Delta.<\/p>\n


In a series of tweets, Testut said that iOS 16 supports both single left or right Joy-Cons, or both at once as a singular controller. Testut added that it is possible to dynamically switch between using the Joy-Cons individually or as one combined controller by holding the screenshot capture and home buttons for a few seconds.<\/p>\n

Testut also confirmed that iOS 16 supports the Nintendo Switch’s Pro Controller, which is a more traditional looking game controller.<\/p>\n

The controllers can be customized in the Bluetooth menu of the Settings app on iOS 16, which is available in beta for developers starting today. Apple said a public beta of iOS 16 will follow in July, and the software update will be released in the fall.<\/p>\n

iPhones have also supported PlayStation 5 DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers since the release of iOS 14.5 in April 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
