Is there an app that will let me see if my iPhone is charging or not? When on put my 15PM on my vertical wireless charging pad in the car, it briefly shows that the charging has begun in the island. But then it goes away and the only way to check it’s still
charging is the tiny lightening bolt in the status bar top right. This is impossible to check when driving. I has tried adding the battery widget but it’s so small it’s not much better.

We all would prefer you focus on driving rather than worrying about battery health or charge.

I am talking about when you first put your phone on the charger, I would like the lockscreen wallpaper to change if it is charging. I dont want to drive for 4 hours to find out it wasnt making contact on the charger properly and didn't charge. I am not going to mess about with it while driving.

It would be simpler if you just charge it via 5-12W USB-A. Physically plugging your iPhone will likely not dislodge contact.
