How to Tell If Your iPhone or iPad Is Charging When Off or On (iOS 16)

By Olena Kagui

Updated 06/06/2023

What to Know

• If your iPhone or iPad was dead from battery drain, check for the empty battery charging icon in the center of the screen.  
• Otherwise, check for the charging symbol over the battery life icon at the top of your screen. 

Long battery life and quick charging are two features that iPhone and iPad users like me enjoy on a daily basis. There are various ways that an iPhone can be charged. When your phone is on, it’s easy to confirm that it’s charging by checking the battery icon. However, if your phone is completely out of juice and you can’t see the iPhone charging icon, how do you know if your phone is charging? What about your iPad?

How to Tell If Dead iPhone Is Charging (Or Powered Off)

If your iPhone has run out of battery completely, plugging it in will begin the charge.  However, the screen will remain off until there is enough charge for it to power back up, so you may find yourself wondering, “why isn’t my iPhone charging?” While it may seem like your iPhone won’t charge after the battery is drained completely, this most likely won’t be the case. Here’s how to decipher the iPhone charging symbol when dead or powered off:

1. Make sure your iPhone is plugged in, and that the charger is plugged into a power source, such as a wall outlet.
2. Check the large battery icon in the middle of your black screen. A completely dead iPhone screen may be black at first; give it a second to charge to see if the charging icon appears.
3. If the icon only shows the empty battery, as shown in the image below, then your iPhone is charging and will power on soon.
4. If the icon shows an almost empty battery and a charger, as seen below, then your phone is not charging and you may need to verify your charger cable and power source.

1. Make sure your iPhone is plugged in, and that the charger is plugged into a power source, such as a wall outlet.
2. Check the battery icon on your screen.
3. A charging iPhone screen has a lightning bar in the middle.

4. If the icon doesn’t have the lightning bolt symbol or is white, then it is not charging.

If you don’t see the iPhone charging screen at this point, check all cord connections to verify that everything is as it should be and that there are no problems with the charger cable itself.  Another tip if your iPhone isn’t charging is to try another power source, and remember that certain outlets may only be powered when light switches are on!

If you have Battery Percentage toggled on, the lightning bolt will be to the right of the percentage:

When you first plug your charger in or place your iPhone on a wireless charger, the lightning bolt will appear to the right of the charging icon:

After a few seconds of charging, it will appear inside the battery icon:

How to Tell if iPad Is Charging When Off or On

You can use the same steps to check if your iPad is charging as you would for iPhone. The iPad charging symbol when dead looks the same:

Just like the dead iPhone charging symbol, a dead iPad screen that shows an almost empty battery and a charger is not charging. If you only see the battery and no charging chord, it is charging. A dead iPad screen may take a while to turn on, even while charging. Be patient and it will happen! Voila, now you know how to tell if your iPad is charging when dead!

Once your iPad is on, you can check the battery icon on your screen. If there is a lightning bar in the middle, then your iPad is charging.

The connector that Apple invented for its devices. This is a reversible cable that can be inserted into devices in either direction. In addition, there are a huge number of lightning accessories: from charging cases to professional microphones and guitar tuners. Many analysts have long predicted a switch to USB-C, but the company is resisting and not seeking to introduce this connector everywhere.

I often see reports from our readers that Apple accessories are not durable enough: chargers break, wired headphones stop working, and cases get dirty and worn out, as a result of which they look as disgusting as possible. At the same time, the company itself does everything in its power and talks about proper care, but rarely anyone turns to her advice. And in vain – there is a lot of interesting things there. However, if you are not going to do this, but want to not the charger from iPhone broke, I’ll tell you a couple of secrets that I use every day.

During the presentation of new products, you probably rejoice when you learn that the next Apple gadget is moving to Type-C instead of Lightning. When it comes to serious and expensive gadgets like the iPad Pro, the developers always mention that the device supports Thunderbolt : those who know what they are talking about nod in the affirmative, the rest look uncertainly around. In fact, it is really easy to get confused, since in both cases the same port can be used, but the difference is different. We tell what Thunderbolt is and how it differs from regular USB-C.

For several years now there has been talk that Apple will drop the Lightning connector for its smartphones. But until recently, there was no confirmation from the American company. There was even an opinion that in response to the law adopted by the European Parliament on the obligatory use of USB-C as an interface for mobile devices by 2024, the Cupertinos will again outplay everyone and get rid of any connectors, focusing on wireless technologies. However, on October 26, all doubts were dispelled, and Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing Greg Jozwiak, with words in the spirit of “we were left with no choice,” confirmed the transition iPhone to USB-C .

The iPhone with USB-C has been talked about for years. Almost every year, analysts and insiders make a sensational statement that, well, in the next generation, Apple will definitely transfer its smartphones to a universal connector. For what? Not very clear. But after all, the iPad has been using USB-C for several years, and the Mac has been using USB-C even longer. It turns out that iPhones with Lightning remain in the minority. However, Apple, despite public pressure, was in no hurry to transfer the iPhone to a new connector, preferring to use its own. But even flints like Apple break.

In 2018, Apple introduced the iPad Pro line in the new design with straight edges. At the same time, 9 appeared in them for the first time.0078 USB-C connector . It was the first Apple mobile device to feature such a port. Before that, all Macbooks were transferred to its use. The next step in the transition was the iPad Air, iPad mini and iMac 24. Thus, only the iPhone and the regular iPad remained on the old ports. And if the transfer of the latter to USB-C is a matter of the next month, then with the iPhone, Apple resisted to the last.

With all its influence, authority and financial power, Apple leaves a complete feeling of lack of independence. It seems that not a month goes by without the authorities of another country putting forward some kind of demand to it. Some want her to continue stocking iPhones with headphones and chargers, others want her to remove app developer fees, still others want to allow App Store alternatives, and still others want her to ditch Lightning 9 altogether.0079 in favor of USB-C. But, if the first three claims can still be substantiated, at the very least, the last one sounds very strange. However, even here the companies did not leave a chance to show independence and refuse.

We have already talked about how our own habits spoil our phones. We charge them incorrectly, put them in the “wrong” cases, and do other things that significantly reduce their service life, or even completely, immediately disable them. But there are significantly more ways to break the phone, and again, we do everything ourselves. Consider a few more examples of actions that you need to be wary of if you do not want to accidentally be left without a phone and pay for a new one.

Did you know that the telephone is the dirtiest thing that surrounds us? According to some researchers, it is dirtier than ATM buttons, money, the steering wheel of a car, and even, excuse me, the toilet. It sounds terrible, but it’s true, because we use it in transport, at work, on the street, in the store and other places, after which we come home and wash our hands with soap. Hands, but not the phone. And it is subject to mechanical pollution. Grease stains, sticky residue, plugs clogged with pellets and much more can disrupt the operation of the device. As you understand, I am leading to the fact that the phone must be cleaned correctly and in a timely manner.
