No, you do not have to have a MagSafe case to use a wireless charger. Wireless charging is based on Qi (pronounced 'chee') technology, which allows for energy transfer between the charging pad and a device without the need for precise alignment or a magnetic case. However, for optimal performance and alignment with the charger, especially with iPhones 12 and newer, a MagSafe-compatible case could be beneficial but is not a necessity.
