Is the “Charging on Hold” message is appearing on your iPhone? If that is the case, the charging process will be put on the hold. Usually, when the phone’s temperature reaches a certain threshold, it triggers this message and stops the charging process to protect the electronic equipments. In that case, these solutions will help you fix the issue.
Fix 1 – Let the phone cool down
Charging heats the iPhone. But, if the heat exceeds a certain limit, this “Charging on Hold” message shows up on your screen. There are certain operations can increase the heating of your phone. Do this –
Step 1 – Switch off the charger and detach the charge from your iPhone.
Step 2 – Place it in a cool place.
Step 3 – Leave the iPhone alone for a few minutes, and it should cool down automatically.
When the phone has cooled down enough, you can charge the iPhone again.
Make sure to kill any resource-heavy applications in the background before you place the mobile on charging. Try to charge your phone in a cool, air-conditioned environment so that it doesn’t overheat anymore.
Fix 2 – Disconnect external peripherals
Have you connected any external peripherals (like an SSD or a USB device)? These devices can heat up your iPhone unnecessarily and show up the message.
So, we recommend you not to charge your phone while using these items.
