iOS26 update on iPhone 15 ruined wireless charging

After updating my iPhone 15 to iOS26, my qi2 wireless charger keep turning on and off. Though my phone is constantly showing charging, the battery keeps dropping while connected.

Also tried with other phones(not iPhone) works fine, the charger does not disconnect.

I have been using this wireless charger with my iPhone for the past 1year never had any issue.

If I switch off my phone and then put it on charge, and let it automatically boot up, it is charging as usual, like it used to.


Update2: Switching off the phone helps to keep the connection stable but it becomes a 'slow charger'.

I think this means it is not detecting the qi2 successfully, but wireless charging is working.

But restarting your phone every time to wirelessly charge is very annoying, also very slow.

Invest £€$50 on the proper charger for that phone. If it still plays up your phone has a fault.
