"Charging Not Available - Liquid Detected" warning appearing constantly after iOS 27 update

Hi everyone,

Ever since updating my iPhone to iOS 27, I have been repeatedly getting the "Charging Not Available: Liquid has been detected in the Lightning connector" pop-up warning, even though my phone and charging port are completely dry.


I have already tried letting it air dry and restarting the device, but the persistent warning won't go away. Is anyone else experiencing this software bug after updating, or is there a known workaround to reset the sensor?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the suggestion. My phone has not been exposed to any water or moisture, and the port is completely dry. Since this persistent warning started immediately after updating, it seems to be tied to a software bug rather than physical water damage. I'll monitor it, but hopefully, a future patch resolves the false sensor reading.

I’ve had the same issue too, especially ever since the iOS 27 update. And my phone wouldn’t have been near any moisture of any sort. I don’t use MagSafe chargers bc my phone gets too hot and my Popsocket sort of hinders it (due to where I stick it on the phone case). It’s getting annoying bc I charge my phone overnight so it’s ready to go by the next day. So like you, I hope it’s a bug or glitch with the updated system as well.

my wife and I are having the same issue. Both of us laying here charging phones in bed and hers started giving the liquid detected. She switched to MagSafe for the night. Like 20 min later mine does the same thing. For sure neither of them are or have been wet.
