but ipad charger is 2 plug if i fix my grounding it shouldn't happened? i mean grounding is for 3 plug socket right (sorry im noob)

ye and it tingles bcz it's in cover too 180° flip don't work it's same

Typically tingling doesn’t come from the outlet; it is what is called “parasitic induction” - the charging wire picks up stray electromagnetic signals from nearby wiring. It isn’t dangerous. However, if you get a real, painful shock, throw away the charger you are using; it’s insulation has failed (or, if it’s a cheap one, it never had insulation).

All Apple and all quality power sources are double-insulated, meaning neither side of the AC circuit connects to the cable or its sheath, so grounding them is not important.

As I said just flip the wall wart 180° into the wall socket will fix this. I grew up where houses were not properly grounded and this was the fix. Leaving it alone won’t harm the iPad. It’s the polarity that’s causing this.

Back in the day when houses were ungrounded we would flip the plug 180° to stop the tingling, try that. A ungrounded outlet won’t cause any harm to the iPad. Unless your holding the iPad and standing in water.

It will fix if yo move away from house wiring when charging your phone, which I realize can be difficult to do. Your house wiring itself should be shielded, but it probably is not.

You can also charge with battery pack that isn’t connected to power.

A properly wired house should use shielded wiring inside the walls ("BX cable”). If you are feeling a tingling there are probably long runs of cable in the wall that are either minimally shielded or unshielded. It isn’t a terrible thing, but it can cause the effect you are seeing.

There are other possibilities such as the neutral and ground side of the wiring connecting to each other in more than one place (at the main panel), but you would need to have a licensed electrician to check for that and other possibilities. It probably isn’t worth the trouble, because it is not a health or any other risk.

There is no risk to the iPad.

That will not solve the problem, because both plugs on the adapter are isolated from the line with a transformer. And the OP said they tried that and it didn’t help.
