It was supposed to support faster wireless charging but instead seems to have broken it altogether. Last night, on iOS 11.1.2, I was using the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger and it worked great. This morning I took the update and now it’s saying it’s charging but the battery percentage isn’t moving.

Anyone else experiencing this?
 
working fine for me, I have had this before on an older iPhone, a restart of the phone fixed it.

Is the phone warm? It's possible that the CPU is working hard after the update and the wireless charger isn't able to add more charge to the battery. I'd give it some time to see if it changes.

Thanks. I jumped the gun. It seems that my battery percentage is stuck and the only way to update it is to reboot. I’ve never had this issue in iOS before. Not sure if I should be patient or factory reset.

When I first got my iPhone 8, I noticed that it was slow to charge after doing updates and after restoring it. It may not be that the percentage is stuck, but rather that the charger can't quite provide enough capacity during those high load periods.

Thanks. I’ll give it some time today. I just don’t want my phone to shut off because I don’t know how much juice is left. But if it stays at 90% for the next 3 hours or so, I’ll do a factory reset.
 
Looks like it corrected itself actually. Thank goodness!
 
Hmmm. I spoke too soon. Put my phone on the charger and it’s just sitting on the same percentage. It charged earlier though.
 
My iphone 6s+ Just has same problem after update to ios 11.2, the battry stuck at 85%. Please help
 
I've also encountered this issue with my X. My Qi wireless charger (fast charge capable) worked fine on the previous iOS version, but since updating to 11.2, it gives a lighting indicating on the battery logo in the top right of the screen without actually charging. Also, the charging indicator light on my wireless charger base that used to come on when charging is now not lighting up. My phone has been restarted/reset since the 11.2 update, but wireless charging still ceases to function.

Clearly this has to be an iOS bug because the unit that I'm using should be perfectly compatible. Really hope to see more people encountering this so we can see a fix.
