3. Once this is done, the control will appear among the connected devices and will be ready to use. For computers, the flashing light on the controller is white.

Important: it is noteworthy that, to make the connection, the control must be loaded. Otherwise, the cell phone may not find the device, or it may not be able to maintain connectivity. The same goes for the computer.

In addition, not all games support the control via mobile phone, so it's worth a quick search before or checking the permissions in the game's settings.

It is also worth mentioning that it is possible to make the same type of connection for Xbox controllers. On the iPhone, for example, the supported controls are as follows:

Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth (1708 Model)
Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller
Xbox Adaptive Controller
Xbox Series S and Series X Wireless Controller
