Hello kelly_03,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We want to help get your iPhone charging normally again.
We see you viewed the Apple Support page for If you see a liquid-detection alert on your iPhone - Apple Support
From the article, we want to make sure you took these steps:
"If your iPhone or Lightning accessory is wet
Unplug all cables or accessories. Don't plug them in again until they're completely dry.
To dry your iPhone:
- Tap your iPhone gently against your hand with the Lightning connector facing down to remove excess liquid. Leave your iPhone in a dry area with some airflow.
- After at least 30 minutes, try charging with a Lightning cable or connecting a Lightning accessory.
- If you see the alert again, there is still liquid in the Lightning port or under the pins of your Lightning cable. Leave your iPhone in a dry area with some airflow for up to a day. You can try again to charge or connect a Lightning accessory throughout this period. It might take up to 24 hours to fully dry.
Here are a few things not to do:
- Don’t dry your iPhone using an external heat source or compressed air.
- Don't insert a foreign object, such as a cotton swab or a paper towel, into the Lightning connector.
- Don’t put your iPhone in a bag of rice. Doing so could allow small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.
If your iPhone and Lightning accessory aren't wet
If you see this alert every time you connect a certain cable or accessory, that cable or accessory might be damaged. Contact the manufacturer.
If you see this alert every time you connect an Apple Lightning cable or accessory, contact Apple Support."
We would suggest to have the iPhone inspected and repaired as we cannot examine the extend of the damage from here. We hope this helps to further isolate the liquid issue and get the iPhone repaired by contacting Apple Support if needed.
Cheers!
