Once the setting is enabled, your iPhone will start monitoring your charging patterns and make adjustments to ensure the battery is charged in way that is optimal for its health.
“For example, if it notices that you typically charge your phone overnight, it may wait to start charging until shortly before you go to bed, so that your battery isn’t sitting at 100% for hours on end,” Rana explained.
