A new report has revealed that the latest Apple iOS 14 is suffering from a possibly dangerous flaw. Apparently, users can circumvent the wireless chargers warning when detecting liquids in the latest OS.
For those unaware, most wireless chargers have an in built feature that notifies and stops wireless charging in the event of a foreign metallic or liquid being present on the charger to prevent any possible damage. However, the warning indicator that informs the users to stop wireless charging and states “Charging Not Available” or “Liquid Detected in Lightning Connector,” can be ignored.

This occurs since the Cupertino based giant has added an “Emergency Override” option that allows users to continue the charging process despite the possible damages. Furthermore, users can just simply dismiss warning notifications and proceed to charge their iPhones. The liquid protection was first introduced back with iOS 10 and has been a part of the operating system since then.
Although, the latest version seemingly ignores all possible warnings. Notably, this bug isn’t strictly restricted to just iOS 14. A few users have also stated that they faced this issue in iOS 13 as well, namely v13.5.1. These users aced the same issue in the older version of the software but in slightly different regard. Although, they were still able to ignore the warning and still proceed to charge their iPhones, including ones which were dropped in lakes, or were drenched in rain.
