How To Clean iPhone Charging Port (2022)

What i did was using the front end of a paper airplane because it is:

Probably softer than a toothpick

Long and pointy

And still strong enough to scrape some dust out.

I also blew into the port instead of buying compressed air

0:23 oh.

So tired of my charger falling out when I’m asleep 😫

The toothpick pulled out so much pocket fuzz in my husbands phone charging port and now it charges better.

I used a match stick. Flatten it at the tip and clean away. Worked a treat.🙏

Hey ! this helped: Saved 50$

Instead or a wooden toothpick consider Purodent brush sticks which are thinner and stronger plastic with the perfect shape - one end smooth and one end with a micro brush.

Now, I understand why phone covers have a piece that covers the charging port. Saved Me some money, I was gonna have the phone cleaned.

Worked❤ well and good now

The first time I cleaned it, I thought I did it properly but it didn’t work, so I was planning to take it to a repairman. But then my sister cleaned it with a needle and a flashlight, and it started charging. I hadn’t noticed that the cable wasn’t going all the way in — it should click in fully when charging. In my case, it wasn’t going in completely. Try plugging your charging cable into another iPhone and see if you notice the difference.

Electrical contact cleaner is what’s needed

can't believe i went a whole month holding my charger at an angle you're a life saver 😂😂

I guess I’m the idiot here. I did this and now my phone won’t charge at all. The charger feels like it isn’t going in all the way. Could I have made it worse somehow??

Didn't help

not pinset?

What if you dont have compressed air?

just bought an iphone 13 for $140 and oh man... scared the shit out of me when i couldnt charge it. grabbed a toothpick adn soo much dust came out of it and it finally worked. try this!!

Anyone use alcohol on the tooth pick?
No not a martini! Wood alcohol for cleaning any grease or oil that got in the port.

After extracting a small mouse family, my iPhone charges perfectly. Who knew? (And how did the mice get in there?)

I tried and it made it worse. I don't recommend trying to clean it with a toothpick

The soft plastic toothpicks you get from the dentist work especially well for this job, and being slightly tacky any lint sticks to them.

OMG, I had no idea how much lint was inside until using the toothpick. Problem solved, thanks!

Three shots of compressed air and it works as if it’s brand new this is fascinating 😂

Worked! If you don’t have a can of compressed air, just blow it yourself.

this was so helpful. I actually took phone to a local shop and they were asking so much money. Said it's the new owner these are the prices. Looks like there is lint and dust. I came back home saw your video and vola it all worked now. So happy, thanks!

Avoid licking the Charging Port, no matter how Delicious it may look! 😄

Air compressors work well for this. Even though this is the case, my plug has an issue, not the port

saved me $50 thanks

I almost turned off my phone fallowing the directions

It worked! Thank you!

I just used a toothpick on instinct. I had lint mushed up hard in there which was keeping it from inserting all the way. Worked like a charm. Next time I will use compressed air in the process. I bought a whole new case and a MagSafe charger and a MagSafe charger for my call because thought the port was no longer working. Now I’m returning all that stuff. Can’t believe i didn’t think to do this cleaning before all that 😅😂

Good video! Just fixed my issue. My cord wouldn’t fully clip in and had to be held a certain way to charge. Toothpick alone did the job. Now I can move my phone around and not have to hold the cord to the left side. No alcohol here as I don’t want to risk other debris getting deeper. No air duster either so after the first try under magnifier, I went by feel and held phone upside down. Wow at what came out.

I actually used a zip tie instead and it seemed to of worked abit

Thanks Inside Her Tech!

my iphone stops charging when I move it. I tested the charger on another iPhone and it charges normally even if I move it, I blew it with air, I cleaned it with a toothpick but still when I move the phone it doesn't charge anymore

THANK YOUUUUUUUU❤
