- Your PS4 controller will appear as “DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller” under Other devices. Press or select “DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller” to complete the synchronization process.

Make sure your Apple device's Bluetooth is turned off at this point to avoid connection issues. Following this process, your PS4 controller should pair with your console..
