How to stop IOS 11 battery full beeping

With the upgrade to IOS 11 when charging my phone, when it reaches full the phone starts beeping. This is very disturbing at night and requires me to unplug to stop the noise. This then leads to a 90% charged phone by the morning. How can I stop this unnecessary alert?

iPhone 6, iOS 11.0.2

I’ve upgraded my 7 to ios 11.2 but am still having the same problem (beeping & screen lights up periodically only once fully charged). I always have to wake up and disconnect the phone in the middle of the night. Very annoying. I’ve tried swapping out the cable and AC adapter, to no avail. Ugh...

I have cleaned it even though it is a relatively new phone. I have read many posts about this issue all over the internet in the last 24 hours. And as you see in my message I have used every type of charger, USB and plug in and multiple plugs and computers and cables. And every time it starts beeping I look at the battery percentage and it is 100%. Then it keeps on. Started doing this exactly after the last update. Sorry it is not my phone or any other devices.

Also there are articles about battery problems,including this one in USA Today and Forbes magazines. There are probably more. I’m continuing searching for a fix. Think about it. If it was the problems you mentioned why does it only start beeping at exactly the second the battery is 100%. It would be beeping right now at 96%. But it will start when it reaches 100%.

It is YOUR PHONE. It is not my phone. It is not my wife's phone. It is not my iPad. It is not my wife's iPad. It is not IdrisSeabright's iPhone. It is not hundreds of millions of iPhones, or there would thousands of posts about it.


Believe what you want to believe, but you will have the problem forever through every version of iOS if you don't troubleshoot the problem with your phone.

I have also this problem since the last IOS update (11.2.5), with battery case connected :

when I use the phone, the main battery is drained a little; then, when the phone is locked, the case's battery charges the main battery to 100% again, and then I get the bzzz notification. Very annoying... it's all day.

Maybe something was changed in 11.2.5 concerning the batteries management ?

I wonder how long it will take apple to determine that whatever they did in version 11x has made many phones behave differently. It might be a combination of software and hardware but it’s DIFFERENT and broken. Not throw the phone away broken, but wake me up one more time in the middle of the night and throw it out the window broken.

The likelihood of it being a software problem is small enough to be discountable.


What happens when you charge the phone with the included Apple cable without the charging case?

I was having the same problem. Really mad I couldn’t charge my phone without this annoying problem. I have new iPhone 10 and brand new Anker wireless charger. It worked great until I upgraded my OS. Anyway I just plugged the charger pad into the wall USB adapter that came with my new iPad and it stopped. Still ridiculous but hope this helps.

For whatever reason, the phone isn't making a proper connection to the Anker charger. If it's new, I'd see if you can get it replaced.

I am also having this problem with my brand new IPhone X (so I am 99.9999% sure it is not lint in the charging port!) and am using non-apple charger and lightning cable - so this may be a problem. I have found a workaround that stops the phone from beeping at night when reaching full charge:

What that article explains how to do is top the noise that occurs when you plug your iOS device into a power source. If the procedure outlined in the article is working for you, then your phone is working as designed: sounding an alert when it is plugged in. It's not making a noise when it finishes charging.


However, if your phone was continuously making that noise, all you've done is silence the alert, not address the underlying problem of an intermittent connection to the charger.

The problem has nothing to do with an “intermittent connection” no matter how often you repeat it. The sound only occurs once the charge is full; intermittent connection sounds alarm regardless of charge level. The sound only occurs on lock screen, not when an app is open; intermittent connection doesn’t care what the phone is doing. With 6 chargers in different places including Apple original, it’s not the charger.
