Nintendo Pro Controller will not connect to iPhone

I need help syncing my Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers to my iPhone or iPad. The controller shows up as “Lic Pro Controller.” I tap that and the iPhone and iPad say connected, but the controller lights are still flashing. I updated everything.

Thank you for this. I’ve done all of these troubleshooting things. It doesn’t work. I’ve tried on my iPhone and iPad. I’ve tried different Nintendo branded pro controllers. On my iPhone and iPad, it says connected to Lic Pro Controller. However the controller continues to have flashing green lights and does not work.

I’m having this issue too, and it’s super frustrating. I’ve tried everything; turning off Bluetooth, paring, unpairing, forgetting the device, etc. But every time, it says “connected” yet the lights disagree. I used the link the other person sent but it just led tot he same “solutions” I listed above, that haven’t worked. Honestly, my last attempt will to be to restart my iPad and hope it works.


for reference, I’m on 16.3.1, the latest update. My controller also shows up as “Lic Pro Controller.”
