iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16
It is true that MagSafe is a Qi charger, but MagSafe is specifically designed for iPhone which are MagSafe, which an iPhone 8 most definitely is NOT. If you want to use it, you can, but as you're seeing it is problematic as you're using a charger which was not designed for an iPhone 8 at all. The biggest issue is, MagSafe aligns with magnets built into phones which are MagSafe capable and align the charging coil with the coil in the back of the iPhone for a perfect fit. This is not something you can do on an iPhone 8.
Maybe you know someone who has an iPhone X or newer who could actually benefit from a MagSafe charger? It again is not the best charger for an iPhone 8 at all. Or hold onto it and use it in the future when you buy a newer, more modern iPhone, which is MagSafe.

iPhone 8 is NOT a MagSafe capable iPhone. I can well imagine you are having charging issues trying to use a MagSafe charger on an iPhone which isn't made for MagSafe. iPhone X, which came after iPhone 8 is however, MagSafe capable. Can you return the charger?
I never said it won't work. What I said is your iPhone is NOT a MagSafe iPhone. It will work if you figure out exactly where to place it on the back of your iPhone.
Does iPhone 8 Plus work with MagSafe?
On its online shop (via 9to5Mac) Apple says: “The MagSafe Charger maintains compatibility with Qi charging, so it can be used to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case, as you would with any Qi-certified charger
But I saw that it was able for QI charging and I don’t know the MagSafe was not QI and I can’t return the charger so I will be stuck with this one
And the friend that gifted me it said it was MagSafe Capable it does charge but very slow so basically I got scammed
Why you're asking the same question, when I gave you a detailed answer, I don't know? Read my response. I'm not going to write it again.
My MagSafe works well so idk if that’s true
