Bluetooth says hello

Our dear friend Mr. Bluetooth, available on almost all devices, says hello once again!

Yes, this is the only way to connect your PS4 controller to your Android device. And here's how it goes:

  • Press and hold the Share and PlayStation button on your PS4 controller at the same time to turn on its Bluetooth option
  • Enable the Bluetooth feature on your Android device.

  • Click Ok and wait until your controller and phone/tablet connect to one another.
