The first thing to try is a hard reset. This forces your iPhone to abruptly turn off and back on. It’s possible your iPhone screen has gone black, making it appear like it won’t charge, even though it has been on the entire time!

Next, clean out your iPhone’s charging port. Dirt or gunk in the charging port could be preventing your iPhone from making a clean connection to your Lightning cable. It’s also a good idea to try multiple chargers and multiple cables.

If none of these steps work, back up your iPhone and put it in DFU mode.

    i’m not hard resetting my phone 😭

  10. Worked thank you!

  11. Hello ,my phone was dead but all of.a sudden it will not cut back on or charge every time i plug it in the charger i feel it getting a little hot .What could be the problem

  12. I think they added this in new software updates cause a while back ago they got sued and lost due to them making the battery run out faster.

    Now the software just makes it so it doesnt want to charge 90 percent of the time

  13. Worked Great, Thanks a Bunch!

  14. Great advice, saved me a trip to the Apple store!

  15. Sometimes it helps to flip the cord the other way lol

  16. Why is nothing working 😭

  17. THANK YOOOUUUU!!!!

  24. Tyy I was stressing out so much

  25. Almost bought a new phone, took and old tooth brush and saved 600$ thanks guys

  26. Sometimes these videos get on my nerves because NOTHING WORKS. People assume it’s because of the charger but it’s not. They tell me to clean out the charger port, but I tried that already. NOTHING IS WORKING. This is a brand new iPhone too! How could the charger port be broken when I JUST GOT IT

  27. thank you so much i was freaking out cause it happend to me while i was on my brothers phone so i thought i broke it but i just needed to hold down more longer tysm

  30. thank you guys , it just worked

  31. Its fucked up

  32. Seriously, Apple needs to do something about this issue. I went into the common section on Instagram and I criticize them. I blew them up with criticism and I told him that they need to do something about this issue. Otherwise I’m gonna try to downgrade into another iOS version.

  33. first one fixed my problem thank you❤

  34. THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE U SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  35. I have an XS Max. Wouldn’t charge. Sometimes would only charge to 49. Most the time sat at 20%. Did hard reset. And it charges. Still going to apple to buy a 15plus…. Yes I know. The 16 pro max is out but I’m not paying over a grand lol

  36. This unfortunately didn’t help, mine just randomly started charging again, but since you were my go-to information source you earned a sub.

  37. I took of the case and it charges

  38. Moisture got in my charging port and the phone said it won’t charge until several hours. I was freaking since I am overseas! I knew it wasn’t gunk but when y’all said to do a wireless charger (which I have but use on my android – yes I have an android too!) voila! My iPhone is NOW charging! Thank you for your video!

  39. Thank you guys
    It was so helpful after I hard restart my 14 pro

  44. @GoguJomapel-ju9xv March 14, 2025 at 10:50 am

    My is charging only when he’s off. I’ve try everything, 20 resets, clean it, changed the adaptor, reset him again…still, only chqrhes in offline mode

  45. my dumb a$$ didn’t realize that the rubber protective case had torn a bit at the bottom, so a small piece of rubber was pushed out close to the socket, and it was interfering at the connection point. it would connect eventually, after trying for a couple of minutes, it took me over a week to figure that out…lol

  46. Thanks a lot my cable was really dirty at the charge white stripes and thats why it didnt charge.

  47. @clydestanley4740 March 14, 2025 at 10:50 am

    Thanks my charge port was full of crap. I cleaned it with a plastic flossing pick.
