Just put it in a spot that feels comfortable in your hand. Slap on the accessory and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<p>To use MagSafe charging accessories, there are a couple of extra considerations. First and foremost, your phone needs to have wireless charging. Second, the metal ring needs to be placed where the wireless charging coils are located. You can find that by simply moving the charger around the back of your device until it starts charging.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_This_Work\"><\/span>Why Does This Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might be wondering how iPhone \u201cexclusive\u201d chargers can work with random Android devices. It\u2019s all thanks to universal charging standards.<\/p>\n<p>MagSafe power accessories use the Qi charging standard\u2014the same standard that Android devices use for wireless charging. It may seem like <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le simply added some magnets to hold the chargers in place, but there\u2019s a little more going on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>iPhones communicate with the charging accessories over the MagSafe connection. This tells the charger it\u2019s connected to an iPhone and it can charge at higher speeds.\u00a0 So while any Qi charger can wirelessly charge your Android device, you won\u2019t get those higher speeds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What is a &#8220;Qi-Certified&#8221; Wireless Charger?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_MagSafe_Chargers_Can_I_Use\"><\/span>What MagSafe Chargers Can I Use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-774907\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/magsafe-battery-pack.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"MagSafe battery pack on Galaxy Z Flip 3\" width=\"650\" height=\"388\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Joe Fedewa<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So you\u2019ve got the metal ring stuck to the back of your phone, now what?
