My phone isn’t charging properly and the charger doesn’t fit right now. I tried cleaning the charging port with the tip of a plastic flosser but it’s really caked on there and I don’t want to damage it. How could I clean it out without damaging it?
Power off your iPhone. If you’re using cotton, place a toothpick on the cotton and twist until it catches and starts to wrap around the toothpick (Only use a small amount). Holding your iPhone so the backside is facing up, place the toothpick inside the chargin port. Scrape against the back wall of the port
