Unlock iphone to use accessories-USB accessory

Hi Team,

Yesterday my iPhone charge was showing 2% and at the same time, it was not charging when tried to charge with USB and it was showing the message unlock iPhone to use accessories-USB accessory.

By the time, i was checking the USB settings, the battery was drained completely and switched off.


It's not charging now. Is there any solution for this?

These alerts can appear for a few reasons: Your iOS device might have a dirty or damaged charging port, your charging accessory is defective, damaged, or non Apple-certified, or your USB charger isn't designed to charge devices. ... Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device.
