Regularly cleaning the Lightning port in your iPhone will help you charge your smartphone more efficiently. When dust or other particles build up in your phone's charging port, it can cause it to stop charging continuously.

The right habits can not only extend the life of your device, but also keep it running at an optimal level. That's what The Sun writes about.

Note, debris also penetrates deeper into the device every time you plug the charger into the port, which can cause your phone to stop charging altogether. Therefore, it is important to maintain proper hygiene of the charging port.

How to clean a charging port

Many people advise avoiding metal objects and opting for a wooden toothpick instead.

First, take the phone to a well-lit area or use a flashlight to look inside the port and assess the level of contamination.

Then take the toothpick and run it along the walls of the port, avoiding contact with the anchors on the side.

Once you've done this, remove the toothpick and clean it before repeating the process.

Follow the above steps until your iPhone port is clean, then try plugging the phone into the charger to see if everything works.
