To place a PS4 DualShock 4 controller into Bluetooth pairing mode and connect it to an Android phone, iPhone, or PC, follow these steps. Since your previous questions focused on Android and PC connections, I’ll tailor the instructions for those devices but also include iPhone for completeness.

Steps to Place PS4 Controller into Bluetooth Pairing Mode
Ensure the Controller is Off:

If the controller is on (light bar is lit), turn it off by pressing and holding the PS button (center button with the PlayStation logo) for 10-15 seconds until the light bar turns off.

If it’s connected via USB, unplug it.
Enter Pairing Mode:

Press and hold the PS button and the Share button (the button to the left of the touchpad) simultaneously.

Hold both buttons for 3-5 seconds until the light bar starts flashing rapidly in a double-blink pattern (usually white). This indicates the controller is in Bluetooth pairing mode.

Connect to an Android Phone
Enable Bluetooth on Your Phone:
Open the Settings app on your Android phone.
Navigate to Bluetooth or Connected Devices (name varies by device, e.g., Samsung or Google Pixel).

Ensure Bluetooth is turned on.
Pair the Controller:

In the Bluetooth menu, look for available devices. The PS4 controller will appear as “Wireless Controller” or “DualShock 4 Wireless Controller”.
Tap the controller’s name to pair. If prompted for a code, enter 0000 (though this is rarely required).

Once paired, the light bar will turn solid (usually blue), indicating a successful connection.

Test the Controller:
Open a game or app that supports controllers (e.g., Call of Duty Mobile, RetroArch, or PS Remote Play).

Verify the controller works. Some apps (e.g., emulators like PPSSPP) may require manual button mapping in their settings.
