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

There is no notification or beep when the phone is fully charged, regardless of the iOS version. There is a problem with the charging cable, the power source, or lint and debris in the lightning port. Clean out the port and / or have the cable and charger checked or replaced.

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 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.

Wrong....


I plug in my iPhone = chime

Then it’s displays the green charging icon.

Next chime? When it states that the iPhone is fully charged and displays a HUGE green icon showing that it’s fully charged + a (wait for it.....) CHIME.


There most certainly IS a notification when the iPhone is fully charged, and the OP wants to know how to disable this chime. Your answer is both incorrect, and unhelpful.

Apple says that its wireless charging is compatible with Qi chargers. A great deal of Qi chargers stop charging when the phone is detected as fully charged to avoid over-charging. If 'apple approved' chargers behave differently then I'd like to know exactly how - and I'd like to understand whether or not that is even a good thing to not stop charging when fully charged.


If apple chargers DO behave differently in concert with the iPhone's chipset to avoid overcharging, then again I have to ask 'why'? I'd also maintain that Apple's claim of Qi compatibility is fraudulent; since it doesn't work the same as it does for other manufacturer's phones.


And the answer is most likely 'So Apple can charge licensing fees for their 'approved' designation.


Whether or not you agree or disagree with ANY of that, or whether you have some more detailed information that better explains this problem...


when Apple claims it is compatible with something; which is a deliberate marketing decision to INFLUENCE PURCHASE DECISIONS... and as a result a great number of users get super-annoying 'beeps' during the night - or 'buzzes' if they have phone silenced - then those folks have a legitimate reason to seek answers and solutions.
