iPhone 12 12 Mini MagSafe Case Animation?

[Phineasgage1848]

I have a 12 Mini and the blue Silicone MagSafe case and the official Apple Leather MagSafe case. Neither of the cases show the case confirmation animation / color when attached.

Can anyone else with a Mini and case confirm this behavior?

I do see the MagSafe charging animation when connected to the charger.

MagSafe Case Animation

i notice my magsafe indication comes on when the screen is off on the lockscreen. if i'm on my home screen or in an app etc and then place the case on the notification doesn't come up. maybe try putting the phone into the case when its screen is off

I get the case animation almost every time.

This worked! There is a confirmation sound when unlocked on the Home Screen, but the full animation only seems to play when the screen is off.

I only get the animation if the screen is off

Will your MagSafe connect (without animation) through a thin aftermarket non-MagSafe case? My case has a tempered glass back but would love to use a magnetically attached MagSafe connection in my car. Thanks!

There is a kind of bug I must say. My experiencie:
- I have a mini black and 2 leather cases (black and yellow) and also a wallet
- when I attach the wallet or the yellow case, animation pops up
- but when I try the same with the black one, nothing happens. Also, if I attach the wallet to the black leather case no animation either

So maybe or the case is “broken” or there is a bug with that color?

Same weirdness Luis! iPhone 12 Pro Max with Apple Clear MagSafe case on with Apple Wallet (Black) added I get no animation. Just receive an audio sound/alert when taking the wallet off the back of the case. When I put wallet back on during lock screen I get nothing! Maybe the animation only works when your not stacking accessories? The first time I put the clear case on, as well as the wallet (separately), I received the animation. But as soon as the case was on and then I tried the wallet I get nothing! I am on iOS 14.3 Beta BTW. Wonder if its a bug?

Same here with the Black Wallet and clear case. I wonder if iOS doesn’t support Magsafe stacking recognition but the charger animation works fine though with the Magsafe clear case

Theres definitely a bug. The sound worked the first few times on my Product Red case but I never saw the animation. I assumed I had a lemon with that case. Then I got a Leather Cali Poppy case and it also didn’t work. So I started to worry that maybe there was something broken with my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

It turns outs restarting the phone worked. Now I see the animation and hear the sound every time, whether the screen is on or off. With both cases. It just works. Let’s see how long it lasts before I have to restart again. Hopefully they work out the kinks.

I tested the theory as well. My MagSafe wallet works sound/animation 3-4 times after rebooting. Hopefully next update repairs this highly advertised feature.

This is a feature of by default function of the mini. Probably, Apple will get it fixed in the next update.

Same experience here, Clear MagSafe, Apple Wallet (Black) no animation/alert when attaching the wallet, just the same alert when removing the wallet.
