iPhone Not Charging? Here’s how to fix it!
Nothing, absolutely nothing, can be more aggravating than when your iPhone just won’t charge. Your iPhone may be starting to lose battery life sooner and earlier in the day, or it may stop working altogether even if it still displays a power % symbol.

The iPhone occasionally only charges a small proportion over a prolonged length of time, or it may not function at all without being attached to a power source. We go over every possible reason why your iPhone might not be charging. We will cover them all in this article along with all of the potential solutions. Read on to find out more!
Why Is My iPhone Not Charging?
There could be any number of issues with your iPhone if it won’t power on or charge. These may consist of the following:
Your iPhone battery’s physical state: Battery health is not the same as battery longevity. You can plug in a battery to give it extra life if it has a low battery life. However, if the battery is in bad shape, it will not be able to keep a charge and will drain quickly.
Operating an excessive number of applications at the same time: Too many apps, especially free ones, can cause your phone to lag and use up the battery more quickly than anything else. This is so that they may collect information from your iPhone, such as location, while also looking for adverts customized for you. Your phone also dies so quickly because this occurs even while your apps are closed.
A Broken or Damaged iPhone: Your iPhone may not be turning on or charging if you recently got it wet, dropped it, or damaged the cords or charging port.
How to Fix an iPhone That Won’t Charge
Here are some things you can do if your iPhone refuses to charge.
Examine your charging port. Unplug your iPhone and examine the charging port if changing your cord, plug, or outlets hasn’t solved the problem. The interior may have some dust or other accumulation that prevents the charging wires from working as intended. Get inside, grab a toothbrush, and clean it out. You could even try using Q-Tips or, like in the good old days of Nintendo video games, giving a powerful blow to clear the port.
Examine Your Cable Even though it can seem obvious, it’s possible that there is some damage to your charging cord or its plug. Try using a new cord, socket, or outlet to charge your phone. If this resolves the problem, your iPhone is probably in perfect working order and has no problems at all.
Try a Hard Reset
It’s necessary to execute a hard reset on your iPhone if it still won’t charge. The hardware of your iPhone does not carry out the charging; instead, the software does. It normally works by doing a hard reset to check your phone for software faults.
How to do it is as follows:
For iPhone 7 or 7 Plus First simultaneously press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons on the side of the phone.
Keep both the buttons pressed and held down until the Apple logo appears. Release both the buttons. Your iPhone will now restart.
For iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X and up
First press and release the Volume Up button.
Then press and release the Volume Down button. Keep the Power button that is on side of the phone pressed and held down until you see the Apple logo emerge on your iPhone’s screen.When the Apple logo appears, release the Power button.
Now, let your iPhone restart.
