iPhone 12 pro isn’t showing the animation when connecting magsafe

When I got my iPhone 12 pro, it showed an animation when I connected my Apple silicone case and the MagSafe charger. Now it’s not showing it for either one. Any ideas why it’s not working anymore

I had the same issue with my 12 pro blue with the blue leather case.


I restarted the phone and nothing. After that I started putting it on and off for 3-4 times in a row and it started working everytime after the 4th or 5th time.


Now I'm getting the blue MagSafe animation 100% of the time with no problems. (you'll see it rarely anyways because I doubt that you'll take it off to switch the case... This one is amazing. Literally!)

same thing, no animation we’ve been used to on 14.5 (18E5154f) - it works perfect on 14.3 and stopped as soon as I have moved on to the Dev iOS. Since 14.4 and 14.5 I have no animation whatsoever either with or without the apple magsafe transparent case. whether I have the case on or off - same thing no animation but charging works. either 20W or even stronger Anker or Satechi USB-C charging - same thing, nothing to do with power distribution. It is iOS glitch and I can bet it will be fixed along the route but ... WHEN?

Apple, please let us know WHEN the heck this is going to be fixed and we will finally see our beloved ANIMATION back on screen?

Hi MookJongWC,


We see that you're having some trouble with the MagSafe Charger animation when your iPhone 12 Pro is connected. This is a great new feature for charging your iPhone. We're glad you reached out for help.


Take a closer look at the resource below for how to use the MagSafe Charger and what to do when it's not acting properly.

I am also having a similar issue. However, mine occurs (or DOESN'T occur) when I am simply putting my MagSafe Leather case on my iPhone 12 Pro. It works for my girlfriend who also has a MagSafe Leather case. The only difference between our phones is hers is a 12 Pro Max and mine is just a 12 Pro.


It should animation when I simply connect the case, but it does not. It does give me the notification ringtone.


Apple.....Help?
