We all know that Call of Duty: Mobile supports the use of controllers in Multiplayer and Battle Royale game modes. But what if the controller isn’t working as intended in the game? Frustrating, right? So, if you’re also experiencing issues with your CoD Mobile controller not working, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to try and resolve the problem.

Before diving into troubleshooting methods, it’s crucial to check if the game supports your controller or not. PlayStation and Xbox controllers are the only ones that work with CoD Mobile. You can use any controller from PlayStation 4 (except the first generation), PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S and Series X. CoD Mobile also supports Backbone One controllers, which are explicitly designed for mobile gaming.
If your controller isn’t officially supported in CoD Mobile, you can play the game on an emulator on PC and then connect it to battle with a joystick.
If you own any of the supported controllers, though, then follow these methods to potentially fix the issue:
1. Restart Your Phone
The first and most obvious step to take is to restart your phone. Sometimes, a quick refresh is all it takes to get your controller working again. If simply restarting your phone doesn’t do the trick, you can also try deleting the CoD Mobile app and then re-downloading it. This can help to reset any settings that may be causing the issue.
2. Reconnect or Delete Your Bluetooth Device
If restarting your phone doesn’t solve the problem, the next step is to reconnect or delete your Bluetooth device. This applies to both PlayStation 4 and Xbox controllers, as well as any other type of controller you may be using. Completely delete the controller from your phone’s Bluetooth settings and then reconnect it.
3. Check CoD Mobile Settings

If restarting your phone and reconnecting your controller doesn’t work, it’s time to delve into the settings within the CoD Mobile app itself. Navigate to the controller settings and look for an option to connect your controller. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your device with the game. Once connected, you should see a confirmation that your controller is now linked to the game.
4. Consider Getting a New Controller
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be time to consider getting a new controller. While this may not be the ideal solution, it’s possible that the issue lies with the controller itself. Even if your controller is relatively new, there could still be underlying hardware or compatibility issues that are causing it to malfunction.
As a final note, the methods we discussed also work for Warzone Mobile players who are facing connection issues with their controllers.
