Why does my iPhone 16 only charge with Apple chargers not third party chargers?

My iPhone 16 will only charge with the chargers that come in the Apple box when you buy a phone. It works with my charger and it works with my sister‘s charger, but it will not charge with any other USB-C cable that I have. It doesn’t give me any kind of pop-up notification when I plug it in Sometimes I won’t even get a charging notification and sometimes it’ll charge for two seconds and then stop charging. Is there anyway I can fix this?

That's interesting as Apple stopped providing power adapters with any of their new iPhones. What does come in the box is a charging cable. Is that what you are referring to here?

All Apple power adapters and charging cables are Mfi-certified. If you happen to be using similar products, that are not, could be the reason you are having this issue.
