What is Wireless Power share?
Wireless PowerShare is an innovative feature that allows you to turn Galaxy phones into wireless chargers. Also known as reverse wireless charging, it allows you to easily share the battery and charge the Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Buds+. It applies to Qi-certified devices, which is a common standard, so as long as the device can be charged via Qi, you can power it from your mobile phone.
How to enable wireless power-sharing?
Wirelessly charge your compatible Samsung devices using your phone. Some features
are not available while sharing power. Devices and software are constantly evolving — the illustrations you see here are for reference only.
- From Settings, tap Battery and device care > Battery > Wireless power-sharing.
- Tap the Battery limit and choose a percentage. Once the device you are charging has reached this level of charge, wireless power-sharing automatically turns off.
- Tap to turn on the charging feature.
- With the phone face down, place the compatible device on the back of the phone to charge. A notification sound or vibration occurs when charging begins.
NOTE:
Wireless power-sharing works with most Qi-Certified devices. Requires
minimum 30% battery to share. Speed and power efficiency of charge vary by
device. May not work with some accessories, covers, or other manufacturer’s
devices. If you have trouble connecting or charging is slow, remove any cover
from each device.
For best results when using Wireless power-sharing, please note:
- Remove any accessories or cover before using the feature. Depending on the type of accessory or cover, Wireless power-sharing may not work properly.
- The location of the wireless charging coil may vary by device, so you may need to adjust the placement to make a connection. When charging starts, a notification or vibration will occur, so the notification will help you know you’ve made a connection.

- Charging speed or efficiency can vary depending on device condition or surrounding environment.
