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.

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.

I had this exact problem on my iPhone X. It went on for a few weeks and then my phone refused to charge.


I do do think that it is caused when the phone has reached 100% and stopped charging; and then starts again. So not beeping when it reaches 100%, but rather when it dipped below 100% and starts charging again.


I had it replaced at the Apple store. After that, the new phone was fine.


until yesterday when it started beeping again on the charging pad.


I set it up as a new phone, but I have re-added many of the apps that were on the previous phone.


its doing it again with many different charging docks, cables, etc.


So unless I just happened to get 2 bad hardware phones, I think it IS software related - possibly in how IOS works with some 3rd party Qi chargers due to how they start and stop... or possibly due to specific apps that we have installed.


Don’t know if this helps any; but I do know that declaring with certainty what the problem is based just on just personal experience and the berating others who think otherwise surely does not.

My IPhone X is doing the same with IOS 11.2.6

I really hope Apple fixes this bug with the next update, it’s really annoying & keeps waking my husband throughout the night. I’m a heavy sleeper & don’t hear it but he has to get up every morning around 4am to unplug as it keeps beeping & waking him.

As you apparently haven't read the thread you posted to, let me summarize it. No iPhone has ever beeped when it reaches full charge. NONE. Not even the iPhone X. iPhones only beep when they START charging, not when they stop. If you hear the charging beep it means that your power source has disconnected, then reconnected, thus starting charging again. It is beeping because it started charging.


There is nothing that Apple can do about this. You can fix it by using only an Apple power source, which does not turn on and off. You can also use the Mute switch on the phone.

I am also having this issue with the iPhone 8.



I have tried a generic charger and the official one that came with the unit and two different wireless charging pads.


The cable is connected directly to a USB port on the socket, I have tried with the Apple USB adapter plug also.



Every morning at daft o’clock I get vibrations from my phone that only stop when I unplug the charger cable........ after being rudely awakened.


My 6 didn’t have the issue, my iPad doesn’t have the issue, and nobody else who I know who owns an iPhone has the same issue.


I’m just glad there’s a forum thread to raise the awareness and hopefully resolve the issue.

There is no "awareness" to raise. There's something wrong with your phone. We can help you figure it out but, you'll need to do most of the work. What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked the charging port for debris? Have you tried a different cable? Have you restored your phone from a back up? Have you restored it to factory state?
