Can Wireless Chargers Damage Your iPhone? We Asked Tech Experts.

Your Phone Won’t Overheat  

There are always a few good tips to follow when charging your phone — regardless of whether you’re using a wireless charger or a charging cable. Removing the case is often unnecessary, but let’s file that tip under “can’t hurt, either.” More importantly, to keep your phone from overheating, don’t do things like using resource-intensive apps while it’s charging. If you can leave it in peace to charge without your interference, all the better. But if you have to send a text or take a call while it’s on a wireless charger. the chances that it will overheat are low. 

Yes, You Can Charge Your Phone Overnight

Overnight charging is simply more convenient for some of us, especially if you have a hectic schedule during the day and find it a challenge to take charging breaks. In the past, concerns about charging devices overnight were brought up after very real (but still rare) incidences of phones catching fire while charging. But today’s wireless chargers are generally safe, especially if you’re choosing one that is reputable. 

Still, keep in mind that the best way to charge your device is to do so in intervals during the day so that its battery stays charged between 30 and 80 percent. There’s no need to charge it to 100 percent all of the time, and doing so isn’t the best charging practice for your phone. 

Go on and feel the freedom of charging with a wireless charger if you wish. There are plenty of pros to doing so, and not as many cons as you might have suspected.
