Everything of mine is up to date and my PowerA Lic Pro Controller still connects to my phone but will keep the lights flashing, I know you probably get a lot of comments about those but could you tell me any more information about why it does that? I would appreciate that a ton. I know you might not respond because this video is from 6 months ago so it’s fine.

You're fine, I try to answer the comments when I'm able. I can't say for certain, but here's my thinking. Apple added support for official Nintendo Switch controller. Unofficial Switch Controllers, even licensed ones, may work because they use the same connections, but were likely made expecting only to connect to Switch when developed. So when it connects to an iDevice, the controller will work because the Mac accepts it as a Nintendo controller, but the controller hasn't received all the "handshakes" that would come from being connected to a Switch like intended. Does that make sense?

I want to get something straight, if you connect both joycons and press and hold on both the screenshot button and the home button will you be able to use the joycons the way you would normally use them (please respond)
@EasyOSX

That is correct. It actually will toggle them. When you connect both a left and right joycon to the iDevice, they will act as independent controllers. If you press and hold the home and screenshot buttons for 3 seconds iOS will change them to act as a unified controller. When you press and hold them again, it will revert them to being independent controllers

@diesupergurke56 Just wanted to make sure. Unfortunately the Game Controller section doesn’t appear for Joy-Cons, only for Pro Controllers. My guess is Apple already had it for Xbox and PS controllers, so it was easy to map onto the Pro controller but not the Joy-Cons, so they didn’t bother. It makes sense when you think of them individually but not when you can use them as a unified pair. Sorry.
