Hi there billfromstthomas,


Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you have an issue with your wireless charger flashing red after charging your iPhone SE. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.


To start, is your iPhone still charging as expected when placed on the MagSafe Charger?


"Your MagSafe Charger is designed for faster and most efficient charging with iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and Apple MagSafe accessories. When charging a non-MagSafe Qi-compatible device with a MagSafe Charger, power is reduced and charge times may be slower than on a typical Qi charger." Learn more here:

Also, work through the suggestions in the 'Learn more' section of this support article:


How to wirelessly charge your iPhone


Let us know how it goes.


Take care!
