David and David explain what to do when iPhone wireless charging is not working. There are a lot of different things that can cause this problem.

Make sure your iPhone and charging pad are clean, and that your iPhone is directly in the center of the pad. If you use a thick iPhone case, try taking it off.

It's also possible a software issue is causing the problem. Make sure to restart your iPhone is the display is on, or hard reset it if its totally unresponsive.

Enjoy your videos, along the side of wireless charging, I've found the placing a metal wireless ring on the back of a case, makes the charger work where it might not. Also on many of the earlier charger banks, were not magnetic, so I add a magnetic adhesive ring to the charging pad area on those chargers.

Hi thanks for that. I have an stm fast charger that I use with my Apple Watch and iPhone XR. I decided to move the device to a more suitable location and the watch charged OK but the phone would not charge so I returned it to the original location but still no joy. Following your advice I did a hard reset and that fixed it. Thanks

The audio was a bit annoying but otherwise good video

Is a complete power down and start up the same as a hard reset? I find trying to do a hard reset takes longer than just power down slide and then power up. Is it the same?

Is it enough only one hard reset to fix the problem for good? Or should i do it every time when the wireless qi charger not working?

GOD BLESS THIS VIDEO! I never would’ve thought of a hard reset, haha. Feared the worst right away, but I’m absolutely grateful a simple shutdown fixed the problem right away! Thank you both immensely!!

I have a regular iPhone 12 that I just bought, I place it on the built in wireless charger pad that comes with my brand new 2021 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T vehicle, but it only starts charging for like maybe 10 seconds and then it stops, at first I thought it was the wireless charging pad that comes with the vehicle, maybe it was defected or something but I tried different android phones and they charge fine, I’ve tried different iPhone XR’s, iPhone XS Max and iPhone 11’s and they charge fine, what can be the problem on why the iPhone 12’s are not charging on my vehicles wireless charging system?

I just got a iPhone 13 Pro Max and an Otterbox Defender case. I currently have a Belkin wireless charger that charged my previous iPhone XS and Apple Watch, however it will not charge my iPhone 13 Pro Max now bc of the case. What should I get?
