Fix;Apple Watch won’t charge?

In this article, we’ll tell you what to do if your Apple Watch has stopped charging or its screen doesn’t light up when you put it on charge.When you place your Apple Watch on the charger and it begins charging, a green lightning bolt icon appears on the screen. If Low Power Mode is active, the lightning bolt will be yellow. If the battery is critically low, the lightning bolt will turn red, and a circle will gradually appear around it as the battery charges.

When you charge your Apple Watch while it’s off, the time will appear on the screen and then the watch will turn on automatically. When the watch turns on, a green, yellow, or red lightning bolt icon will appear on the screen.

A lightning bolt-shaped indicator on the Apple Watch screen or in the battery widget on your iPhone confirms that your smartwatch is charging. If for some reason your Apple Watch isn’t charging, there are several ways to fix it.

Wait about 30 minutes

If your Apple Watch’s battery is completely discharged, or you haven’t charged it in a long time, the charging confirmation may not appear immediately on the screen. In this case, leave the watch charging for about 30 minutes. Once the battery level reaches 5-10 percent, your Apple Watch should turn on automatically.

Check your connection

Before proceeding with the next steps, please complete these points:

• Make sure your Apple Watch charger is securely connected to the adapter, computer port, iPhone or iPad, power bank, or other power source.
• If you are using an adapter for charging, check that it is connected to the outlet and that the outlet itself is working properly.
• If you are using a laptop to charge, make sure it is not in sleep mode.

Move the watch while charging

You can place your Apple Watch on the magnetic charger in any direction. However, if the watch isn’t charging, try moving it slightly on the charger to see if that helps

If your Apple Watch has a case, remove it and try again.

Remove the protective film

If you have a new Apple Watch charger, be sure to remove the protective plastic film. If you have a third-party charger, carefully check that nothing is interfering with its connection to the watch.

Use the cable that came with your Apple Watch.

Your Apple Watch doesn’t come with a power adapter, but it does come with a charging cable with a USB-C connector on one end and a magnetic circular connector on the other. Use this cable to charge your Apple Watch. If you don’t have an Apple-issued charging cable, borrow one from someone to see if it charges. If it works with the original cable, the problem is with your cable and it should be replaced.

Third-party chargers

There are many third-party docks, stands, and regular chargers for the Apple Watch. If any of these don’t work for you, try the following:

• If your charger can charge multiple devices at once (for example, a smartphone, headphones, and a smartwatch), try removing the other devices and see if that’s the problem.
• Make sure you’re using a supported adapter when charging from the dock – 20W or higher.
• Check if other watches charge with your charger.

Note: Apple Watch does not support standard Qi wireless chargers or even Apple’s MagSafe iPhone charger. You should use the charger that came with your watch, Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger, or another supported third-party charger.

By the way, you can charge your AirPods case using the Apple Watch charger.

Wipe the surfaces

If your watch still doesn’t charge, take a dry, soft cloth and wipe the charging surface and the back of your Apple Watch.

Force restart your Apple Watch

Sometimes charging may not work due to temporary watchOS system errors. To fix these, force restart your Apple Watch by simultaneously holding down the side button and the Digital Crown until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Once the watch turns on, place it on the charger.

Use a different charger

If your Apple Watch still won’t charge, try using a different power adapter, a computer port, or even a wall outlet. If you’re charging your watch from a portable battery, make sure the battery itself has sufficient charge.

Update your Apple Watch system

This isn’t the fastest solution, but it might help. If your Apple Watch has stopped charging properly, try updating your watchOS version. This should resolve the issue if a system bug is the cause.

Is your Apple Watch or charger from China or Indonesia?

Apple Watch Series 10, Ultra 2, and SE (2nd generation), as well as their charging cables sold in China and Indonesia, only support the WPT standard.

Due to Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) limitations, these chargers cannot charge Apple Watch models that do not support the standard. These include the Apple Watch Series 10, Ultra 2, SE (2nd generation), and other models sold in all other countries.

If you’re trying to use an Apple Watch charger made for the Chinese and Indonesian markets, it won’t charge your Apple Watch purchased in another country. A charging error message should appear on the screen.

In this case, you should simply use a different charger.

Contact Apple Support

If you’ve tried all the tips above and nothing has helped, contact Apple Support. You can also take your Apple Watch to a specialist. It’s possible that some component is faulty.
