What is Slow Charging Notification on Samsung Galaxy?
If you own a Samsung S9, you might have received a notification whilst connected to your charging port, alerting you that the phone is charging slowly.
This alert was added in by the developers, as part of the phone’s high-speed charging feature. It essentially alerts you when your phone isn’t charging at high-speed so that you aren’t concerned that your phone has charged slower than usual.
So, under what circumstances might your Samsung S9 not be able to charge at high-speed?
Well, depending on where you are plugging your phone in to charge, there might not be enough power in the outlet to charge at high-speed. This is sometimes the case when you charge your phone in the car, or via USB on another device such as a laptop.
In some cases, it might be because your charging cable is faulty, or there is debris in your charging port.
So, if you have received this notification and accidentally selected ‘Do not show again’, you might be wondering how you can get this helpful notification back again?
