Try this: Reset the controller using a toothpick to press the little reset button in the back. Also, make sure to turn off the Bluetooth on the device you were using it with prior to reconnecting to the PS4. That usually helps!

You really need a USB cable to sort this out. When I run into connection issues, I just plug the controller into the PS4. Also, don’t forget to restart your console! It can work wonders.

I wish I had a USB cable! I’m in the same boat as you without one.
