Since I came from EU to US my phone charges until 34%, then I have to unplug and plug again for it to charge until 50 and so on.I use an adapter. How can I resolve this?

"If Optimised Battery Charging won’t activate

Optimised charging is designed to only engage in locations where you spend the most time, such as your home and place of work. The feature won’t engage when your usage habits are more variable, such as when you travel. Because of this, some location settings must be enabled for Optimised Battery Charging to activate.* None of the location information used for this feature is sent to Apple.

Make sure these settings are enabled:

  • Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Location Services.
  • Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > System Customisation.
  • Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations > Significant Locations."
