Optimized Charging is not practical if you aren't on the same schedule all the time.

As to leaving the battery charging, create a Siri shortcut that turns off your phone charger once your phone gets to the battery charge level you want. That is what I do. I am surprised Dan didn't suggest that.

I don't see this message anymore. That's how :(


I use optimized battery charging and never get that message. Just because the message isn't appearing doesn't mean its not working in the background. Thanks for the big iphone pic.
