Using Bluetooth on Your iPhone to Connect Your Controller

iPhones work with most modern controllers through Bluetooth. Before you start, clip your phone into your Game Armour mount so it stays steady. That way, you’re not juggling your phone while tapping through tiny settings menus.

1. Turn on your controller.
   Make sure it’s charged:  low battery = random disconnections mid-game. (nobody wants that)
   
   
2. Hold the Bluetooth pairing button.
   Every controller hides it in a different spot, but you’ll know it’s ready when a small LED starts blinking. Fast blink (usually means) = pairing mode activated.
   
   
3. Open Settings → Bluetooth on your iPhone.
   Keep the screen open while the phone searches for devices.
   
   
4. Select your controller from the list.
   If your phone asks you to confirm pairing, tap Yes or Pair.
   
   

Once connected, open a game that supports controllers. Most iOS action, racing and shooter titles like Roblox or call of duty mobile will instantly pick it up. If the controller suddenly stops responding:

• Double-check Bluetooth is still on
• Confirm your controller’s LED is still lit
• If all else fails: go to settings → Bluetooth and then  tap the “i” next to the controller name → Forget This Device → pair again
  
  

*This fixes 90% of weird pairing glitches.*

When everything is paired, place your iPhone back into the Game Armour Gamin Mount, fire up a game and enjoy that smooth console-like control.

 

Using Bluetooth on Your Android Phone to Connect Your Controller

Android phones are super flexible, which is why so many gamers love them. Whether you’re in the US or anywhere else, pairing a controller works almost the same across devices  just a few menu names might change.

Start by mounting your phone in the Game Armour mount so it doesn’t slide around during setup.

1. Power on the controller.
   Hold the Bluetooth pairing button until the LED starts blinking fast (the universal “Yo, connect to me!” signal)
   
2. Open Settings → Bluetooth (or Connections).
    Turn Bluetooth ON and let the phone search.
   
3. Tap your controller when it appears.
   Some Android phones pop up a confirmation box and hit Allow.
   
   

If your controller doesn’t show up:

• Tap Refresh
  
• Toggle Bluetooth off/on
  
• Restart your controller and try again
  
  

Once paired, jump into a game (like Roblox or call of duty mobile) that supports controllers. If nothing responds, check the game’s Settings → Controller/Input section as some games require enabling controller mode manually.

Your Android phone will sit solid in the Game Armour mount, letting you focus entirely on gameplay instead of worrying about dropping your device mid-battle.

Final Tips on Connecting Your Controller to Your Mobile Device

 

• Keep your controller charged to avoid mid-match disconnects
• Stay close to your phone during pairing as distance slows things down
• Use the Game Armour mount to keep your phone safe, stable, and locked in place
• If something feels off, a quick restart + re-pair usually saves the day

Once your phone and controller sync up properly, your whole gaming flow becomes cleaner, faster and way more fun. With the Game Armour Gaming Mount holding your phone steady, every movement becomes more accurate, perfect for shooters, racing games and anything that needs quick reactions.
