So last night I had my iPhone on the charger. Woke up and it only had 25%. Now it won't charge at all and says the accessory is not certified. However, the charger works perfectly fine with my work phone

Any help would be appreciated

•Plug the cable to the wall-charger. Don't plug it to the iPhone yet.
•Now, turn off the iPhone and when you see the loading wheel spinning, plug the charger.
•Let the iPhone be connected to the charger for a while. Don't switch it on.
•After about ten or twenty minutes, turn it on. Dismiss the warnings if there are any. The charging should mostly continue without a problem.

I have had to have my port replaced, it's $50 here at our local cell phone repair shop.

Try it with a totally different wall/car charger and cable and see what happens.

When I turn the phone off and plug it in, the phone automatically recognizes the charger and turns on. It just won't charge

use toothpick or very thin tweezers to pull the lint out of the charging port. it packs in and keeps the cord from plugging in all the way. just had the same happen to me.

Blow in the port. Then hit up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.

The next step in troubleshooting is what The Mick suggested

If it charges, try replacing the cable giving you issues. If it doesn't, try cleaning the lightning port on the phone or replacing it if that doesn't work.

There is a tiny johnson bar at the back to the lighting port. Sometimes it gets stuck due to dust. You will need to buy Apple charging juice for lubrication. Don't use generic charging juice!
