How to Use the Charging Companion and Live Activity on iPhone
CleanMaster's Charging Companion turns charging time into a game: animated characters you level up with a light care/streak system, with charging progress shown in Live Activity and the Dynamic Island.
Steps
- Open CleanMaster and pick a charging character from the gallery.
- Plug in your iPhone — the character animates while it charges.
- Watch charging progress in Live Activity and the Dynamic Island.
- Keep charging with the app over time to level up your favorite character.
Why it works this way
Charging is dead time, and a plain battery percentage is joyless. The Charging Companion makes it a small ritual — a character that greets your plug-in and grows with a streak system — while still giving you the practical bit: live progress in the Dynamic Island so you know when you’re topped up without unlocking.
Tips & edge cases
- Keep a streak to level your character over repeated charges.
- Glance at the Dynamic Island for progress instead of waking the screen.
- Purely optional — ignore it and the rest of CleanMaster works the same.
