I've been trying to get this issue fixed on my iPhone 6 almost all day. I never use headphones and my phone has never had any water or physical damage. I tried SO MANY things and what finally worked for me was this.. HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME UP AND DOWN BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE STILL HOLDING THESE DO A HARD RESET. SO ALL THE STEPS YOU WILL DO AT THE SAME TIME ARE HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME UP AND DOWN BUTTONS WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE HOME BUTTON AS WELL AS THE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR PHONE. ONCE YOU SEE THE WHITE SCREEN WITH THE APPLE YOU CAN LET GO OF ALL BUTTONS. THIS SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE! I really hope this saves someone a lot of the hassle I've been through!!

Bobby Pin + toilet paper (must be strong). Stick it in the headphone slot and leave it for a few minutes. Problem fixed itself.
You just saved my life. Thank you stranger
Thank you so much for this tip. After trying many other tactics this worked on the first try. You saved me a lengthy trip ( 1 hr 30 mins one way ) to my closest Apple store. I really appreciate it!
Same thing happened to me after a day at the beach. I sucked really hard and now it works! I had tried a q-tip and toilet paper prior and none of those worked.
THANKS so much for your help! I used a toothpick and it worked like a charm. 🙂
