Quick answer

Place the stand on a flat surface, connect it to power, then set your iPhone on the magnetic charging area and your AirPods on the lower pad. Align the magnets and check for the charging indicator to confirm proper placement.

Why alignment matters for MagSafe charging

MagSafe charging relies on precise magnet alignment to deliver the fastest wireless speeds. If your iPhone is slightly off-center, it may still charge, but at a slower rate. The stand's magnetic alignment helps you position your phone correctly every time.

Keep the stand away from metal objects and other electronics that could interfere with the magnetic field. A clear, flat surface also prevents the stand from tipping when you pick up your phone.

Compatibility and cases

The Anker MagGo 2-in-1 Stand works with iPhone models that support MagSafe, including iPhone 12 and newer. If you use a case, make sure it's MagSafe-compatible or thin enough to allow the magnets to connect. Thick or metal cases can block the magnetic connection and slow charging.

Check for the charging animation on your iPhone screen to confirm that the connection is active. If you don't see it, adjust the position until the magnets snap into place.

Step-by-step setup and use

Unbox and inspect: Remove the stand from the box and check for the power adapter, cable, and any included documentation. If any part is missing, contact the seller before use. Verify all accessories are present to avoid setup delays.
Connect to power: Plug the included cable into the stand and connect the adapter to a wall outlet. Use the supplied adapter to ensure proper power delivery. Using a different adapter may reduce charging speed.
Position the stand: Place the stand on a flat, stable surface near an outlet. Ensure there is enough clearance for your phone and AirPods. A stable surface prevents accidental tipping.
Charge your iPhone: Hold your iPhone near the magnetic area on the stand and let it snap into place. Adjust until the magnets align and the charging animation appears on your screen. If no animation appears, reposition your phone until it clicks.
Charge your AirPods: Place your AirPods case on the lower charging pad. Ensure the case's charging indicator faces up and is centered on the pad. The case may not charge if it is misaligned or has a thick cover.
Monitor charging status: Check the LED indicators on the stand and your devices. If your phone or AirPods are not charging, remove any thick cases and try again. Persistent issues may indicate a faulty cable or adapter—test with another one.
