As temperatures across India soar past 50 degrees in some areas, not just people and animals but even our beloved gadgets are feeling the heat. Many iPhone users are finding their phones aren’t charging past 80%. Feeling the frustration? There’s no need for worry, this is a built-in feature designed to keep your device and its battery safe.

Protecting Against Overheating

If your iPhone refuses to charge beyond 80%, especially during these scorching afternoons, there’s a likely culprit—extreme heat. When your iPhone’s temperature climbs out of its safety range, the device will halt charging to protect itself from overheating and potential damage. It’s the phone’s way of saying, “I need a break.”

So, How Do You Charge Past 80%?

With temperatures so high, many of you may be asking, “How do I get my phone to charge past 80%?” The answer is simple: give it some time to cool down. Once the phone cools off, it will resume charging without any issues.

Luckily, you don’t have to perform any techy tricks. Simply waiting is the key. If you usually use a wireless charger, consider switching to a wired one, especially during the summer. Also, charging your phone at night, when room temperatures are cooler, can help.

Avoid Using a Case for iPhone

Another way to keep your phone from overheating during charging is to ensure it’s in a cool environment—try to charge it in an air-conditioned room if possible. Additionally, removing the phone case while it charges can help. Removing the case improves heat dissipation, and even Apple recommends uncasing your phone during charging to speed up the process.
