Connecting a Bluetooth controller to a smartphone is quite easy. Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controlled work with smartphones wirelessly. Generic Bluetooth controllers can connect to smartphones as well.
Make sure the controller is fully charged, on, and ready to connect.
On your smartphone, have your Bluetooth settings enabled by going to the Settings and toggling the function on. On the same Bluetooth menu, select Pair new device or check the devices ready for pairing.
On the controller, depending on the manufacturer, press on the necessary buttons to open up to a new pairing.
For the PS4 and PS5 controller, it's a must to hold the PlayStation button and Share button at the same time. For Xbox One controllers, hold on to the Sync button. For Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons, you can only sync on Joy-Con at a time and will require an extra adapter compatible with your smartphone to sync both Joy-Cons.
Generic Bluetooth controllers will have a special button or specific ways to press the button to open up new pairings.

Back to the smartphone, simply wait for the controller to appear on the menu and select it. The pairing is complete once confirmation of the connection is shown.
If you cannot find the controller on your menu, it might mean that the controller is still wirelessly connected to the console. Make sure to stay out of range of the console if someone else is playing, or simply turn the console off to avoid interference with the wireless connection. Considering Nintendo's strict IP protection, as it is unknown how long the website might stay up. Enjoy it while you still can.
