I'm unable to charge my iPhone 11 wirelessly after the iOS 18 update

I turned off my phone and back on again, seemed to sort it 👍

Iphone 14 PRO same problem, after the iOS 18 update not charge, when Apple fix the problem it's definitely some issues with software not hardware.

After update to iOS 18.1 the problem still remains with the iPhone wireless charging.

Our family too. Unable to wirelessly charge in 2022 Honda Odyssey with iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro following iOS 18 update. These devices do charge on other wireless charging pads we have. I’m guessing this is a vehicle incompatibility for us. Hopefully, Honda or Apple will release an update that will resolve this.

I tried everything! Restart the phone, stop and start the optimization, reset all settings, change with other chargers. After 30 minutes to an hour it starts, but I don't have that time to mess with the phone to start charging!

I have an iphone 13 pro

I had issues when I updated to 18 with charging and battery drain. I HAD to use the apple charger for it (that instantly fixed charging issues) and it took about a day or two to stop using so much battery.

I did the update to fix bugs with 18 today and it wouldn't charge at all with my wire charger and read that I need to wake it with the wireless charger. Wireless is currently the only way to charge my phone now as the wired charger won't work. I'm hoping in a few days , things return to normal.

Try powering the iPhone completely off, then turning it back on, then seeing if it will charge.

Background: My iPhone occasionally fails to make a proper connection to the MagSafe charger. Powering it off and back on, clears the glitch. This was with versions of iOS prior to iOS 17; I don't know if 17 or 18 might have fixed this bug.

iPhone 11.

iOS 18.0.1.

After updating from iOS 17, the phone refuses to charge normally at the wireless station. It reaches 100% at night, continues to ‘charge’ and gets very hot, with the battery draining to 85-95% in a couple of hours. If I switch the phone to wired charging then *maybe* it can charge to 100%. It may show charging, but it will take a very long time for the percentages to increase, and then the missing 10-15% will charge in 20-30 minutes.

Everything with battery optimization turned off.

Hopes Apple fix this on future updates.

18.1 won’t fix the problem despite service center said it would. Nightmare for many of us. Sometimes it does charge now but never with a computer neither in the car. Definitely annoying. It is useless to have an iPhone nowadays.

Same, iPhone 15 pro max

Same here, they need to patch it soon as

Turn off Optimized Battery Charging

Tried many times. Did not work

Thank you so much for these steps! I have been scratching my head of why my phone why it wouldn’t charge wireless but this fixed it!

I have the same issue on an iPhone 15. Is there any way to charge it back up once it dies?
