iOS 16 has support for Switch Joy-Con and Pro Controller

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

iOS 16 was unveiled at the Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2022 today, and it turns out that there’s actually some Switch-related news. It turns out that the OS actually has native support for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and even the Joy-Con. That means these controllers can technically be used with any Apple device that supports iOS 16.

The news about the Switch functionality comes from Riley Testut, a developer that has worked on the emulator Delta. Not only can a single Joy-Con be supported, but both together as well. It’s even possible to dynamically switch between using the Joy-Cons individually or as one combined controller by holding the screenshot capture and home buttons for a few seconds.
