Why is my iPhone not charging

When your iPhone is connected to the cable and starts charging, an animation appears on the display along with a lightning bolt inside the battery icon, indicating that your Apple device is charging

If this is not the case for you, if your iPhone charger is not working, or if it looks like it’s charging, but the battery percentage isn’t going up, then this is the blog for you! We help you get to the bottom of your iPhone charging issue.

Consider Using the right charging accessories for your iPhone

Check that your iPhone charging cable and power adapter are in good condition, with no apparent damage such as breaks, bent plugs, or bare wires. If this is the case, you should stop using these accessories. Not only can they prevent your iPhone from charging correctly, but they can also damage your Apple device.

Are you using uncertified non-Apple accessories? Using unofficial or uncertified chargers can backfire. Either because they weren’t what you expected or they aren’t charging your iPhone properly.
