No problem using an iPhone while charging, however, you should use a 12 watt or higher power charger. Which is any Apple charger except the “cube”. Energy from the charger will first go to powering the phone, then any left over will go to charge the battery.


And this is a user-to-user forum, not a chat. You only need to post a question once.
