Though, the induced voltage might be a lot more than phones can typically handle via wireless charging. Not recommended, however, induction cooktops and wireless charging are the same underlying technology. I wouldn’t gamble that the phone has sufficient over voltage protections on the wireless charging to survive. YMMV.
