I'm not following you on this question? If the charge is lower than 100% and the phone is plugged in to charge, the lightning bolt will appear whether you are using the phone or not, if that helps. But once the phone reaches 100%, the bolt goes away.

I understand what you’re saying.


While plugged in, iOS used to show a plug graphic inside the battery icon to indicate that the battery is fully charged. Right when it went from 99 to 100, there still was a bit more charging to do so it would show a lightning bolt until it was fully charged, then it would change to a plug to indicate it was on external power entirely, and that the battery wasn’t being charged anymore.


They removed this a few years ago. I miss it too, it was nice for those with OCD who wanted a fully charged phone.

And after reaching 100%, bolt sign goes away even with charger plugged in and switched on . Hope you understood what I am trying to say , sorry if I am being repetitive.

Yes, you are being repetitive, but that's OK. I already explained why. There is NOTHING wrong with your phone and it is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
