Does this work for anyone? I've had it work like 2 times since iOS 13 came out, I even ran the beta since July and still nothing. Is there a secret to getting it to work? I use a wireless charger every night and nothing. Tried turning the feature off and back on and still never works. Anyone shed some light on this snake oil feature?
 
I had this turned on ever since day 1 on my 11 Pro and I never seen it work once. I did toggle it on and off maybe a month ago and that didnt help either. Would love to know how to get this to work.

I haven’t tried a regular charger vs wireless. Anyone think it’s wireless charging or has anyone with a wired charger not had it work?
 
Has never worked for me. Didn’t on my iPhone X and doesn’t with my iPhone 11 Pro. I always use a charging cable.
 
Hmm? For anyone to know you’d have to checkup on it while it is expecting you not to be around. When about to pick it up it should have reached 100% already.

I’ve done just that and caught it during the trickle charge phase once I had to get up earlier than usual. I charge wirelessly.
 
The feature is working flawlessly for my son and my wife, but not working at all for me.
Maybe my charging habits are less “regular “ than theirs, so the system couldn’t really learn how to optimize it.
 
I'm not bothered with this feature at all to be honest. My charging pattern isn't regular, which is probably why Ive never seen it working. When I plug my phone in to charge (usually on my desk at work), I just want it to charge fully.
 
Which charger are you using?
I don’t think the charger makes any difference

It is meant primary for overnight charging ...
 
Optimized charging hasn’t ever worked for me. I charge my phone at all different times during the day so I guess that’s why it hasn’t worked.
 
Mine has never worked for me yet either but I suspect it has something to do with me using a smart battery case with my 7. I charge at about the same time every night and even set and alarm most days and it still goes straight to 100% every night when it has plenty of time to stick at 80%.
