Apple frequently makes beta versions available for testing to guarantee that new updates are user-friendly and free of problems. “Liquid Detected in Lightning Connector” has been bothering iOS 14 and 15 users. Let’s try to shed some light on the situation.
Why Does My iPhone Say “Liquid Detected in Lightning Connector”?
Your iPhone can detect fluids in your Lightning port if you have an iPhone XS or later. When this happens, your iPhone may show a Charging Not Available error message that reads, “Liquid has been detected in the Lightning connector.”
If your iPhone displays this message, disconnect it from the charger and let it out to dry for several hours. Avoid inserting anything into your iPhone’s Lightning port while it dries out, such as headphones or another charger. The liquid in the Lightning port has the potential to irreversibly harm your iPhone’s hardware.
If you get this error, we don’t recommend charging your iPhone using Emergency Override. If your iPhone supports wireless charging, charging it using a Qi-enabled wireless charger while you’re charging port dries may be a safer option. However, if your iPhone has been exposed to a lot of water before, it’s generally advisable to avoid wireless charging as well; moisture could have spread to other components of your iPhone.
This can happen in a variety of ways, but here are a few of the most common:
Shower – if you leave your iPhone in the bathroom while showering, the humidity can rise to dangerous levels, causing moisture to build up inside your charging port.
Rain — if you are caught outside in a downpour or even a light rainfall, your phone may become wet.
Swimming pool — putting your phone in your pocket and jumping in the water will almost certainly get it wet!
Spilled drink — another definite way to get your iPhone wet is to spill coffee or water on it.
What if my iPhone is water-resistant?
Water-resistance is built into every iPhone in Apple’s current series. Your iPhone is water-resistant if you have an iPhone 8 or later.
However, just because your phone is water-resistant does not imply it is impervious to liquid damage.
water-resistant iPhones are not waterproof. This means that if your phone comes into contact with any liquid, the metal components inside can corrode and stop working properly.
