Under Charging Animation, you can preview a list of charging animations you can use. Some animations take a while to show up, as they first need to be downloaded by the application. After finding an animation you like, select Set. This will create a shortcut within your Shortcut app, which will be triggered once you start charging your iOS device.

Edit Charging Animation Shortcut

Close the Smart Cleaner app and open up your Shortcuts application. In the Automation section, you’ll be able to find this shortcut.

Tap on it and make sure that Enable This Automation is toggled on. Below, you can enable or disable the Ask Before Running and Notify When Run options. You might want to leave these options disabled.
