My iPhone 15 won't charge wirelessly on iOS 26.2.1

My iPhone 15 Pro using IOS 26.2.1 will not charge wirelessly all of a sudden. I thought it was the charger so bought a new one that will charge the phone and Apple Watch. The watch charges so I know the charger works but my phone won’t. How can I get the phone to charge wirelessly?

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 


Also, update your iPhone to iOS version 26.3 which is the latest available iOS version today.

The current stable release of iOS including bug fixes, security updates is iOS 26.3 —I would start there
