Set an Alarm on Your iPhone for When Your Battery Reaches Full Charge



Charging your phone for whole night is the worst idea you ever have had. Trying to keep 100% of charge on any of smartphone is the first step of damaging the battery life. So Apple tried fixing this issue in its latest update of iOS 13 by stopping charging when your phone is at 80% but it is not a solution






If you don't like the 80% limitation during charges, you can disable "Optimize Battery Charging" to go back to the old way where you could potentially damage your iPhone's battery from overcharging. You can turn the feature off indefinitely or just for the day. If you're doing that, instead of leaving your iPhone charging more than it needs to, you can set an alarm to notify you when the battery is full.

Although you may not want the alarm waking you up in the middle of the night, it's a useful tool to have when you charge your iPhone during the day and don't want to leave it charging more than it needs to.




Step 1 Adding 'Battery Alert' in Your Library


Battery Full Alerts is hosted on RoutineHub, which will house newer versions when they become available.

Visit its webpage, then tap "Get Shortcut." You'll be redirected to the Shortcuts app, where you can verify the contents of the workflow. If it looks good, tap "Add Untrusted Shortcut" at the bottom. (You may have to go to Settings –> Shortcuts first and toggle the "Allow Untrusted Shortcuts" switch on if not already done.)






Step 2 Set Up Battery Full Alert


To set the alarm to be notified of the full battery, go into the Shortcuts app, and tap on the "Battery Full Alert" shortcut on the My Shortcuts tab. Tap "Start" on the menu that appears (on iOS 13, the menu will be at the bottom, but on iOS 14, it'll be at the top).







The shortcut will then run in the background. It's a bit glitchy, but you should eventually receive a pop-up that asks you to grant the shortcut access to the Clock app on your device, which it needs to set the alarm. Hit "OK," and you'll be good.





If you don't get the notification to give the shortcut access, you can do it another way. In Shortcuts, tap the ellipsis (•••) icon in the top right of the "Battery Full Alert" shortcut, then scroll down until you find the "Clock" action. Now allow the access. If you see "Shortcut Details" instead, toggle on "Clock," then hit "Done" in the top right. Hit "Done" to exit the shortcut's workflow.








 Step 3 Turn On Your Battery Alarm


After fixing Clock permissions, you may have to tap the shortcut again and hit "Start," to be sure it's working. Then, you can exit Shortcuts.

A minute and a half after your battery hits 100%, an alarm will sound. If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll see a banner at the top of the screen that says Battery Full, or you'll get a full-screen alarm (as well as the banner) if it's locked — all accompanied by your usual alarm sound.





Step 4 Delete Extra Alarms


A byproduct of using this shortcut is that a new alarm is created in your Clock app every single time you use the alarm. So let's say you use this shortcut every day for a week — you'll have seven different alarms saved, which is annoying if you already have several alarms.

Although they won't ever ring again, you should get rid of them to clear up the mess. To remove alarms, open Clocks to the "Alarms" tab. . To delete an alarm, either long-swipe it to the left until it disappears off the screen; short-swipe left on it and hit the "Delete" button; or select "Edit," tap the minus (–) sign, then "Delete."
