Hey guys, I wanted to see if anyone has tried using their Joy-Cons on an iPad or iPhone. I can connect them, but when they’re connected they don’t actually do anything, I can’t use any buttons, etc. does anyone have any advice?

Hey guys, I wanted to see if anyone has tried using their Joy-Cons on an iPad or...
You need to play some games or app that support controller.
Although that's strange, I thought they would at least control pointer.

@rocky garnet I saw someone on YouTube using them to go through apps on the Home Screen and open them, then could scroll / pause videos on them
All I need is to be able to scroll through videos and pause for school
rocky garnet
Uhuh that's what I thought as well
gusty flint
I don’t know why it’s not working it’s extremely frustrating
rocky garnet
Which iPad version and iOS are you using?
gusty flint
They both connect instantly when I pair them but do absolutely nothing
rocky garnet
maybe it's not supported on that version
rocky garnet
and you had the same issue on iPhone?
rocky garnet
hmm
gusty flint
But my remotes work fine on switch
I don’t understand lol
Is there something I need to turn on on my settings
Like accepting outside controllers or something in general
rocky garnet
I can't really tell since I don't have an iOS device to test right now
gusty flint
I’ve never used any accessories on my devices
rocky garnet
But that was confirmed quite a while ago, maybe they changed something
rocky garnet
Would you be able to test it another time and get back to me?
I'll ask around
For now, can you try to test it on some games with controller support?
gusty flint
Thank you
What games have it? Does slay the spire
That’s like the only game I have on my iPad lmao
rocky garnet
lol if I have to choose one, that's a game I would keep on it as well
gusty flint
Another piece of info: they say connected on Bluetooth and have the single light on (so they are actually fully connected)
Yeah right? It works so well on mobile
brisk venture
wtf its possible to pair them to mobile devices?
rocky garnet
Try one of these: https://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1475611006
btw, unrelated but check out "Dawncaster" and "Slice & Dice" @gusty flint
and say good-bye to your free time
gusty flint
Are they on steam or just mobile?
rocky garnet
mobile
rocky garnet
Yeah, Dawncaster is rogue-lite deck builder
with branching story
Along the same line, check "Night of the full moon"
also on PC
Although great, kinda annoying with the weird translation
meanwhile Slice & Dice is rogue-lite fantasy RPG dice game
it's like you control a party of dungeon & dragons, and you roll dice for their actions
Darn thing is too good for its price, very very high value
rocky garnet
Same haha
gusty flint
I haven’t found a good deck builder like slay the spire yet
rocky garnet
I say Dawncaster is very close
gusty flint
Almost ascension 10 on multiple characters
Monster train is good
If you haven’t tried it
rocky garnet
Yeah but not on mobile
rocky garnet
They say they are working on it but no idea when it will be released
gusty flint
Inscryption
rocky garnet
That one is kinda annoying coz it has some other elements in it
In term of simplicity and addictiveness, I'd say Slice & Dice is equally as good as Slay the Spire
gusty flint
By the way, Joy-Cons worked on a game on my iPad
rocky garnet
Dawncaster is better than Night of the full moon, but both has some story element in it. Which eventually you will remember how to deal with them.
gusty flint
That’s baffling
gusty flint
I just want to be able to use them to pause and go back and forth on my med school lectures
rocky garnet
I'm trying to see if there's a setting for it but...
I don't see anywhere mentioning such feature
Can you check on your end?
Maybe it's in Accessibility
@brisk venture while we wait him to check, read below for some fun
