iPhone 14 cannot see Magic Mouse

Trying to connect a Magic Mouse to my iPhone 14 following the procedure in support article "How to use a pointer device with AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" and the phone does cannot find my Magic Mouse. Any suggestions?

Not really relevant to the question, but my daughter just connected the mouse to her Android phone in two seconds without any trouble whatsoever.

I am not sure how your daughter connected the Magic Mouse to her Android device, strange!. She must have surely used some third-party apps for this purpose.


As far as I Know, Apple's Magic Mouse does not connect to iPhone using AssistiveTouch > Devices because the Magic Mouse is not supported by Bluetooth on iOS devices. The Magic Mouse uses a proprietary wireless connection that is not compatible with Bluetooth though it may list under bluetooth devices on Mac.


I don't think you can connect Magic Mouse to a Windows PC either without installing (Third-party) drivers which may not be reliable.


You can connect other bluetooth devices as shown in the GIF below.


Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch > Devices > [Connect any Bluetooth Mouse]


Operate the screen using the mouse. Please see the GIF below
