Set a Custom Charging Animation on iPhone With Shortcuts
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
iPhone has no native custom charging-animation setting. You can trigger an app or action with a Shortcuts charging automation, but it has limits.
Understand the limitation
This is a Shortcuts automation workaround, not a replacement for Apple's built-in charging screen.
Create the trigger
Open Shortcuts > Automation, create a personal automation, and choose Charger Is Connected.
Choose a safe action
Open a trusted animation app or run a simple visual action; avoid automations that expose private information.
Test and revise
Connect power, approve any required automation behavior, and disable the automation if it becomes disruptive.
