Although it is not explicitly mentioned on Apple's website, iOS 16 appears to support the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Cons and Pro Controller, as Riley Testut, developer of iOS video game emulator Delta, explains on Twitter.
In a series of tweets explained Testut that iOS 16 supports both individual left or right Joy-Cons, as well as both at the same time as a single controller. Testut added that it's possible to dynamically switch between using the individual Joy-Cons or a combined controller by holding down the screenshot capture and home buttons for a few seconds. Testut also confirmed that iOS 16 supports the Nintendo Switch's Pro Controller, a more traditional-looking game controller.
iOS 16 covers compatibility with Nintendo controllers
The controllers can be customized in the Bluetooth menu of the iOS 16 Settings app, which is now available to developers. According to Apple, a public beta version of iOS 16 will follow in July, while the software update will be released to all users in the fall. iPhones have also supported PlayStation 5 DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers since the release of iOS 14.5 in April 2021.
