Xbox controller not working on iPad

There could be some games on Roblox that do not fully support xbox controllers, especially if you're trying to play on an Ipad. Try downloading Roblox on your xbox one to see if your controller starts working better there. Otherwise, it could just be an
issue with controller support on an Ipad that should be fixed in another update.

I’ve had the same issue on both my xbox series s controllers (purchased a year apart) for about a month now but I think I fixed it. Unpair your xbox controller from your xbox by holding the little sync button on the controller for about 15 seconds or until the controller vibrates. Now the controller is not synced to anything. I did a step here where I synced the controller to my ipad and tested some games. Controller worked fine. Humorously, I even remote played the xbox through the xbox app on the ipad. Worked fine, no disconnects. Next I made the ipad forget the controller. Then I simply turned on the controller and synced it back to the xbox. No disconnects yet. Hope this fix sticks/helps others.

The scuff accessories will work on a Xbox One Wireless controller, the controller will work on an iPad, but whether the accessories will, I do not know. You might want to ask scuf that question.

Hi

I haven’t got another Xbox controller but I’ve tried on PlayStation controller and my IPad and the headphones work fine. They just won’t work with Xbox controller.

The controller I brought 3 days ago.

Thanks for your reply

I just made the same mistake. And was very upset about this. I had everything working perfectly before the update. Yesterday my ipad would recognize the controller as an elite. I was even able to use it to play remote computers though the ipad. The remote computers were able to detect the elite controller and the extra paddles. Then today when I went to update the controller on my xbox, the controller’s paddles were not functioning for ipad purposes. (The only reason I got the controller was for the ipad, I don’t really use the xbox.) This was absolutely devastating. I wish I could reverse to firmware update. However when I updated to iPadOS 15.2.1 most functionality was restored. I am now able to use the paddles and have them recognized by the remote computer. It will take some time to fully test if there are no other issues with the fix, and I will report here IF I find anything. One thing I noticed immediately after installing the iPadOS update, is that the controller is still naming itself an Xbox Wireless Controller through bluetooth now, as opposed to an Xbox Elite Controller before.
