Disabling reverse wired charging on iPhone 16 so it doesn’t charge my Android

so i have 2 phones, iphone 16 and an android phone, i use both simultaneously. my iphone 16's battery is usually drained in the end of the day and my android phone still has good amount of power. so i want to charge my iphone 16 with my android with usb type-c to type-c cable but i can't do that because of iphone 16's reverse wired charging, it always ends up with my iphone 16 charging my android even when my iphone 16 only has 5% of battery. i never have this kinda problem when using iphone 11 pro max and an android phone. if anybody can help please comment.

The following is extracted from Charge and connect with the USB-C connector on your iPhone - Apple Support

"Charge other devices with your iPhone

You can use your iPhone 15 and later to charge your AirPods, Apple Watch, or another small device that supports USB Power Delivery at up to 4.5 watts.

If you have another device with a USB-C connector, connect it to your iPhone with a USB-C cable, such as the one included with your iPhone.
To charge a device that has a Lightning connector, connect it to your iPhone using an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable.
Charge your Apple Watch by connecting an Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable directly to your iPhone. You can also connect a Magnetic Charging Cable to your iPhone with the Apple USB-C to USB Adapter."
