How to Turn Off Bluetooth On PS4 Controller
One of the most frequently asked questions about the PS4 controller is how to turn off bluetooth. Many people find it frustrating that there doesn’t seem to be a way to do this on their own, but don’t worry because we have you covered! In this article, we will go over some different ways that you can turn off bluetooth on your ps4 controller.
Why to Turn Off PS4 Controller’s Bluetooth
There are a few reasons why you want to turn off PS4 controller’s bluetooth. One of them is to expand battery life . When bluetooth is on, it will be constantly looking for other devices to connect with. This drains the battery a lot faster than if you were just using your controller as an input device and not actively connecting to any of them.
There’s another reason why many people turn off their PS4 controller’s bluetooth is because they don’t want non-PS4 devices to connect. This is often the case for people that use their PSN account on more than one console, like a PlayStation and an Xbox One. Anytime you turn your bluetooth off, it will make your controller appear as offline so other players won’t be able to join in with you online if they aren’t playing on a PSN account that you’re friends with.
Process to Turn Off PS4 Controller’s Bluetooth
In order to turn off PS4 controller’s bluetooth connection, you have to follow these steps below:
- Press the PS button located in the middle of PS4 controller between the two analogs
- Select Settings icon on the PS4 menu.
- Highlight Devices and press X button to select it.
- Scroll down until you see Bluetooth, then highlight bluetooth device followed by pressing the Options button which is usually labeled with a square symbol or triangle symbols that look like an arrow pointing up out of a box.
- Select Turn off.
That’s all. Now your PS4 controller Bluetooth is off.
Once it’s off, you can turn on PS4 controller Bluetooth with ease.
