Wireless charging is becoming increasingly popular, but do you expressly need to turn it on for your iPhone?
There’s no particular setting available in the iPhones to turn on/off the wireless charging option. You need to put your iPhone(8 or onwards) on the wireless charging pad if you want to use it. There will be no problem with charging, and the device automatically connects and starts charging at an average speed. The charging speed depends upon the capability of the charging pad.

Your iPhone has built-in wireless charging, which makes it straightforward to charge. Chargers that are Qi-certified work with your iPhone. You can buy these chargers as extras and find them in cars, cafes, hotels, airports, and on furniture. Qi is a Wireless Power Consortium(WPC) charging standard that any device can use.
We’ll go into more details below.
Connectivity of Wireless Charging Pad
- Connect your charging pad to the adapter with your accessory or one the manufacturer recommends.
- Put the charging pad on a flat surface or somewhere else.
- The screen should be facing up when you put your iPhone on the charging pad. If you want it to work, try to put it in the middle of the charging circle or where the manufacturer says to.
- A few seconds after you put your iPhone on your wireless charging pad, it should start to charge.

- You have an iPhone 7 or one that came before that.

- The wireless charger you’re using doesn’t work with your iPhone or isn’t made for it.
- You are charging through a port and a wireless charger at the same time.
- The charger for the iPhone is not Qi Certified.
- Your phone’s case is made of thick metal or plastic.
- Your iPhone is having a problem with its hardware.
How to Fix iPhone Wireless Charging Problems
