Apple iOS 16 Supports Nintendo Switch Controller, Joy-Cons

Apple has announced one of the biggest iOS updates i.e. iOS 16 which will bring plenty of features to completely overhaul the experience of the iPhone. This includes iCloud Shared Photo Library, customizable lock screen, option to edit and unsend iMessage, and much more.

However, there is one thing that Apple didn't advertise and it will interest all the gamers out there. As per Riles, the developer of the iOS emulator Delta has revealed that iOS 16 also supports the Nintendo Switch controllers and Joy-Cons. This is one of the most exciting news and here are the complete details about it.

Riles posted on his official Twitter handle that iOS 16 supports Nintendo Switch controllers and they work perfectly with Delta. 

 

Later on, he also revealed that it also supports Joy-Cons both separately and together. If you add both of them, they will appear as a single MFi Controller to apps. 

If you want to switch from using both the Joy-Cons as a single controller to using one of them at a time or vice versa, you can do it by holding the screenshot and home buttons for a few seconds. 

 

You will be able to connect the controller and Joy-Cons by going to the iPhone's settings and then, to the Bluetooth section.

You can use both the Joy-Cons separately or together in iOS 16.
