Want to experiment with how your iPhone sounds when you plug in the charger? Here is how you can perfectly do it! Follow the guide to know the way around it, and you can have your favorite sound clip saved as the first sound it plays the moment it starts being charged up. So, let’s get started.
What is a charging sound, and why is it important for a phone?
A charging sound is just that little ‘ding’ or vibration you hear the moment you plug your phone into a wall outlet or drop it onto a wireless pad for charging. It may actually seem trivial, but it comes with its own importance. It confirms that the connection is made and power is actually flowing. If you don’t hear it, you know something needs to be fixed. Without it, your phone may not tell you about it actually not being charged. It saves the day when you just keep it peacefully in a corner for charging up, rather than keep coming back to see if the power still flows.
Steps to see and change the charging sound on an iPhone
If you want to change the sound of your iPhone as it charges, here are the steps that can come in handy!
- To see the automation that controls a custom sound, you have to open the Shortcuts app. Since it is built within the system, there is no way you will find it swimming on the screen. Tap on the automation tab at the bottom center. If you have already set one up, it will be listed there, being fairly easy to locate.
- Now, the final thing, if you want to see how to change it, you go into the automation menu and tap on your charger trigger. Find your actions. This is where you can view the text-to-speech or the file path for any custom noise you have decided to use.
If beyond just the sound, you want to see the visual confirmation that your phone is charging, just look at the battery icon in the top right corner. To see if it is being charged, see if it turns green and a tiny lightning bolt appears inside the icon. On newer models with the Dynamic Island, a large green bubble will expand across the top of the screen to show the current battery percentage, also signaling the presence of power. However, if you are using a MagSafe charger, you get a circular animation that pops up on the lock screen. It shows a green ring filling up to indicate your current charge level, letting you see the battery in a chart sort of way.
