As usual, when your device runs out of battery, you plug it in for charging, but suddenly you notice it's not charging. The first issue you might think of is a problem with the Lightning port (the port or connector cable connecting the phone or tablet to peripherals).
Recent surveys on Apple forums show that many users encounter this problem. However, most don't know how to fix it and assume it's due to a faulty cable or phone. But the simplest solution is to check the Lightning port.
During use, debris like lint or dust from your bag or pocket may inadvertently get stuck in the Lightning port, affecting your device's charging. A quick and convenient way to address this is by using a toothpick to remove the debris.
To ensure your actions are safe, the first thing you should do is back up your data to your computer or cloud storage service. Then, turn off your phone. Gently use the toothpick to remove any dirt trapped in the Lightning port.
Next, try checking if the device is charging; if it still isn't, use compressed air to clean it. If after doing this your device still won't charge, then you'll need to seek help from phone repair technicians.
You can also use this method for Android or Windows Phone devices.
