iPhone 12 magsafe case no animation

Hello,

My iPhone 12 magsafe case doesn't show the animation on screen, however I have the magsafe charger and it works just fine and the animation pops and all. I'm pretty sure it's an original case because I bought it with the charger from my country's official apple distributor.


What can I do to make the animation show on screen?

Same thing here. Out of the box in November the silicone case animation worked just fine with my 12 max pro, bought a dji OM 4 so popped the phone out of the case and when i popped it back in found the animation isn’t working.


it’s kinda not a big deal but the thing is it is specified as part of the functionality of the two official products, so it SHOULD work.


come on Apple, please sort it soonest.

Hi aboddy67,


We understand you're not seeing the animation when your iPhone is connected to the MagSafe charger. Does the animation appear when the iPhone is locked? Be sure to check out this article for charging your iPhone with the MagSafe charger.

Have a good day.

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?

Got my 12 pro max like two weeks ago. Bought the mag safe charger and everything just to get the animation and it doesn’t work. That was one of the things I was excited for. So bought a silicone apple MagSafe case and still it does nothing smh. I hope it’s fixed soon. Kinda sucks just wanted the experience lol

Same with my new official clear MagSafe case. No animation at all. Running iOS 14.4.1 the latest public availability. Anyone figure out what’s wrong? I did the force restart as well. Maybe some setting that it needs to be turned on? Reduce motion?
