Although not announced on Apple’s website, iOS 16 has been found to add support for Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons and Pro Controller. The feature was highlighted on Twitter by Riley Testut, the developer behind the iOS Delta video game emulator.
In a series of tweets, Testut said that iOS 16 supports single Joy-Cons left or right, or both at once as a single controller. Testut added that it is possible to switch dynamically between using the Joy-Cons individually or as a combination controller by holding down the screen capture and home buttons for a few seconds.
Testut also confirmed that iOS 16 is compatible with the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, which is a more traditional-looking game controller.
Drivers can be customized in the Bluetooth menu of the Settings app in iOS 16, which is available in beta for developers starting today. Apple said there will be a public beta of iOS 16 in July and that the software update will be released in the fall.
IPhones also support PlayStation 5 DualSense and Xbox Series X drivers since the release of iOS 14.5 in April 2021.
