IPhone Charging

Is it a good idea to keep an IPhone 8 plugged in to a charger when at home? That's what I do. That way I know where phone is when I'm not using. Also I know I've got a full charge. I've been told that can damage the battery. Which is right?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

iphone 14 tesla charging I just got an iPhone 14 (not pro or pro max), and it will not charge on my 2021 Tesla Model Y charging pad. My iPhone 11 had no problems charging. Any fixes other than using a cord?

iphone says it's charging but it isn't iPhone 12 mini. Battery capacity 98%. Problem was with 15.x and now with 16. Connected to Apple mag safe charger, over night, phone not in use. I put it on the charger and it goes thunk ding and the green circle goes around. Battery setting screen shows it's charging as does battery icon on home page, which means the phone is connected to a live line. But the phone discharges. See screen shot below. Under normal circumstances the phone doesn't lose this much charge when not being used. Considering how much it's discharging it seems as though something is drawing power, so it isn't just idle. This doesn't happen every time, though. Help please.

There is nothing wrong with keeping your phone plugged into charge. You cannot overcharge it.
