Which iPhone models support fast charging?
It can be said that your iPhone incorporates fast charging technology throughout the PRO or MAX series or also from iPhone 8 onwards .

How to make fast charging possible on your iPhone
There are a few things you need to do to determine the culprit in order to resolve the issue on your iPhone. There are also things you need to do to make it possible to charge your iOS device faster.
Please use an original device charger
It’s broken or you just lost your iPhone charger and it needs to be replaced. It is of great importance to get an original fast charger.
For fast charging you need an original iPhone USB-C to Lightning connector cable as you can see in the following photo:
And an original Apple USB-C charger of 18, 20, 29, 30, 61, 87 or 96 W , below you can see what this charger looks like:
You can also try to find a compatible cable and charger, but make sure that the cable is the same type (from USB-C to Lightning connector) and that the charger is type-c with more than 18W
Decrease device activity
You may still notice a slight drop in charging speed even with a good charger, if this happens try leaving the device idle while charging or lower the brightness while using it. You can also turn off the data to see if things are getting better.
Try turning off the device while charging
If the problem is not solved by buying a new charger and changing the USB data cable, why not turn off your device and check if there is an app causing this problem on your device? In fact, some apps can quickly drain your battery when running in the background, even when not in use, which can also lead to slow battery charging. Therefore, turning off the phone while charging prevents the app from running and the phone can charge itself quickly.
Uninstall unused apps from your mobile device
If you have unnecessary apps on your device, apps that you no longer use, most apps often run in the background, even when not in use or minimized. Well, why leave them? Uninstall them and free them from your activities on your device. Keep in mind that the more apps you have, the more power your phone will consume.
Hardware problem or advanced troubleshooting
This slow charge in your type of Apple device could be a more advanced hardware problem such as a defective connector or a battery with problems, so if none of the above has helped you, I advise you to take your iPhone to a specialized technician so that I can solve the problem
