Quick summary
ChargingPlay: AnimationSound is an iPhone utility that displays a charging animation whenever your device begins charging. It relies on iOS 14 Shortcuts automation to launch automatically when a Lightning cable is plugged in or the phone is placed on a wireless charger.
Main benefits
- Continuously refines the decimal accuracy of the displayed battery percentage by learning from your charging behavior.
- Launches the animation automatically when a data cable is connected or when the device starts wireless charging.
- Closes the animation immediately when the cable is disconnected or the phone is removed from the charging pad for a seamless experience.
Installation and setup
This app is designed to work together with iOS 14 Shortcuts automation. Follow the included configuration steps to allow the shortcut to trigger the animation automatically when charge begins. Proper setup ensures the animation starts and stops without manual intervention.
For devices running older iOS versions
If your iPhone is running an OS earlier than iOS 14, automatic triggering won’t be available. In that case:
- Add the animation shortcut to the Shortcuts widget or Shortcuts app for quick access.
- Manually start the animation from the Shortcuts center whenever you begin charging.
