To connect your phone to your PS4, you need to ensure that both devices are connected to the same network. This can be done by following these steps:
1. On your PS4, go to the Settings menu by selecting the icon that looks like a toolbox.
2. In the Settings menu, scroll down and select “Mobile App Connection Settings.”
3. From here, choose “Add Device” to start the process of connecting your phone.
4. Now, grab your smartphone and open the PS4 Second Screen app. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you can find it on the App Store or Google Play Store.
5. Once the app is open, it should automatically detect any available PS4 systems on the same network. Select the PS4 system you want to connect to.
6. You may be prompted to enter a code displayed on your PS4 to complete the connection. Follow the instructions provided on the app to enter the code correctly.
7. After successfully entering the code, your phone should now be connected to your PS4.
It’s worth noting that the PS4 Second Screen app allows you to use your phone as a second screen or a controller for certain games. However, the functionality may vary depending on the game and its compatibility with the app.
Connecting your phone to your PS4 can enhance your gaming experience by providing additional features and convenience. For example, you can use your phone as a keyboard to input text on your PS4, navigate menus, or even browse the internet. Additionally, some games offer companion apps that provide additional content or features while playing.
Personally, I have found connecting my phone to my PS4 particularly useful when I want to type something quickly, such as searching for a game or entering a long code. It saves me the hassle of using the on-screen keyboard with the controller.
Connecting your phone to your PS4 is a straightforward process that can be done through the PS4 Second Screen app. Once connected, you can enjoy additional features and convenience while gaming.
