How Do You Enable Bypass Charging During Gameplay on OPPO Devices

Gaming on your OPPO smartphone can put a strain on battery performance, especially during extended play sessions. One helpful feature that reduces heat buildup and improves stability is bypass charging. This guide explains what it is, how to enable it, and when it works.

Which OPPO Models Support Bypass Charging

This feature is available on the following OPPO smartphones:

• OPPO Find X8 Pro

• OPPO Find X8

• OPPO Reno 14

• OPPO Reno 14 Pro

What Is Bypass Charging

Bypass charging is a power management feature designed specifically for gaming. When you connect a compatible OPPO phone to a wired charger and activate bypass charging, the power goes directly to the phone’s system instead of charging the battery.

This reduces heat generation by avoiding the battery altogether, which helps maintain smoother performance while gaming.

How to Enable Bypass Charging During Gameplay

To use bypass charging, follow these steps while playing a game:

1. Connect a wired charger to your phone.

2. Launch your game as usual.

3. While in-game, swipe out the [Game Assistant] panel.

4. Tap the [Bypass Charging] icon to turn it on.

5. Choose your preferred target battery level for activation.

Once enabled, the phone will draw power directly from the adapter, helping reduce heating and power drain from the battery.

Why Isn’t My Battery Charging While Playing

If you notice that your battery level stays the same while charging during gameplay, this is expected. When bypass charging is active, the phone receives power directly, and the battery is no longer being charged. This helps prevent overheating and supports a more stable gaming experience.

Does Bypass Charging Work with Wireless Chargers

No, bypass charging only works with wired chargers. Wireless charging does not support this feature.
