Liquid Detected In Lightning Connector

Don’t freak out if the warning “Liquid Detected in Lightning Connector” appears on your iPhone when you plug it in to charge. It is a widespread warning.

When the iPhone warns you that “Liquid Detected in Lightning Connector,” the charging port has been contaminated with water. You can still use your phone; however, you will be unable to charge it with a lightning cable until the port is completely dry. You can, however, use a cordless charger while you wait.

What does “Liquid Detected In Lightning Connector” mean on my iPhone?

Any iPhone model released in 2019 or later will be able to recognize the presence of Liquid when connected via Lightning. If this happens, your iPhone may notify you that “Liquid have been detected in the Lightning connector” and refuse to charge.

Your iPhone needs to air out for a while if you see this message, so please disconnect it from power and let it dry for a while. Try not to plug anything into your iPhone’s Lightning port (headphones, chargers, etc.) while it dries out. The Liquid in the Lightning port can permanently damage your iPhone’s hardware.

Please don’t try to charge your iPhone by pressing the Emergency Override button. Using a Qi-enabled wireless charger to charge your iPhone may be preferable. At the same time, the charging port dries out if your iPhone is wireless-charging-capable. This error message suggests that your iPhone has been submerged in water, so you should probably avoid wireless charging.

What if my iPhone is waterproof?

All of the iPhones currently available from Apple are equipped with water resistance. Any iPhone model released in 2018 or later is protected against water damage.

Waterproof iPhones are not available. It means that if the metal components inside your phone come into contact with any kind of Liquid, they will rust and stop working correctly.

Your light port’s metal prongs are standard.

However, because no electrical current passes through these metal pins, the Liquid should not cause any long-term damage (unless it leaves residue on the pins).

As a result, when your phone detects Liquid, Apple automatically disables the lighting connector. This connector strip could fail due to metal corrosion if an electrical current were to flow through it.

What should you do if a liquid is discovered in a lightning connector?

My first piece of advice is to wait until your phone is completely dry before using the “Emergency Override” feature.

There’s no need to change a thing about how you’re using your phone. Simply press the “Dismiss” button. That shouldn’t be a problem and won’t increase the damage in any way. Just don’t connect anything to it!

The following are the measures I would take to restore your phone’s functionality and make sure no permanent damage occurred:

Remove any cables or accessories that are connected to your iPhone.

If there is any liquid in the Lightning port of your iPhone, you should hold it with the port facing down and tap it firmly with your palm.

Place your iPhone in a well-ventilated, dry area.

Wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to charge your device again.

If you receive the “Liquid Detected in Lightning Connector” alert, liquid residue may be beneath the Lightning pins. You should wait at least 30 minutes before charging it again.

Keep doing this until the disclaimer is gone.

Many people who have iPhones have told me that it can take up to 24 hours for the phone to dry and the alert to stop. So please be patient!

Cordless charging

Fortunately, my recommendations above are based on the assumption that you have access to only a lightning cable charger. You can use a cordless charger while you wait for the lightning port to dry!

So you can use your phone and charge it while you wait for it to dry out completely.

It has just happened to me. During a 10-second bath with my son, my iPhone fell into the water and was submerged.

I received the Liquid Detected in a Lightning Connector warning message when I charged it with the lighting cable.

So I kept using my phone, and later that day, I used my cordless charger when it was time to charge it. It worked perfectly. The next day, my phone was completely dry, and the lightning charger worked again.

If you don’t have a cordless charger, Apple sells one called the MagSafe charger. Still, there are also many aftermarket options on Amazon.

Don’t forget that you’ll need iPhone 8 or later! Incompatible with wireless charging in earlier models.

What not to do with a watery iPhone

We understand that when your phone isn’t working, you’ll do anything to get rid of the dreaded Liquid in lightning connector message. However, there are a few things you should avoid doing when attempting to dry your iPhone’s charging port—all of which can damage your device.

Use an external heat source, such as a hair dryer or compressed air, to dry your iPhone.

Inserting a foreign object, such as a paper towel or a cotton swab, into the lightning connector is not permitted.

Please don’t use a rice bag to store your iPhone.

The emergency override is not working.

Despite the alert, selecting “Emergency Override” will usually allow you to charge your iPhone.

While this bypass does get rid of the warning, your iPhone will still refuse to charge after you click the button.

It appears to be a bug that Apple hasn’t yet resolved. You can, thankfully, take the following measures to address and prevent this:

You can restart your iPhone by pressing the Delete button. Click volume up, then volume down, and then press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Use only Apple chargers! For some reason, this warning only occurs with aftermarket chargers.

When possible, use MagSafe charging to charge wirelessly.
