How to Connect Xbox One Controller to Android?
Contents

Can you use an Xbox controller on Android?

A typical Android device’s Bluetooth support is all you need to connect the controller to your phone or tablet (or Android TV).

In the below image, the bottom controller (with no plastic around the Xbox button) supports Bluetooth.

If your controller won’t connect wirelessly, you can use USB OTG instead.

Is the Xbox One controller Bluetooth?

Xbox One Wireless Gamepads included with the Xbox One S and made after its release have Bluetooth, while the original Xbox One controllers don’t. You can use both wirelessly with your PC, but the process is different; you need to get a separate wireless dongle for the non-Bluetooth gamepads.
