Here's how to take advantage of this possibility.

How to pair DualSense with your Apple device

The procedure is quite simple and is divided into two steps. The first is to activate the DualSense pairing mode: you will have to make sure that the player light on the controller is off (by holding down the Ps button) and disconnect any USB cables. Now you will have to hold down the Create key and the Ps key until the light bar starts to flash.

To connect the wireless controller you will have to activate the bluetooth on the desired device, tap or click on the name of the DualSense from the list of nearby devices and check that the controller light bar flashes and the player indicator light turns on.

Pairing can only be done one device at a time, if you want to switch from iPad to iPhone for example yes will have to repeat the procedure.
