thank you so much for that link! just one last thing I am still semi confused about, I have seen things online saying that if I leave my Mac plugged in for the first few charger optimised charging will change my charging pattern so it stops charging at 80, do you know if this is true? if it is false, do I need an app to get it to stop at 80% (as this is what I've read online) or has the new iOS update made a way for it to stop charging at 80%?

thank you, and if you don't know that is okay!
