Step 1: clean out the lint from the charging port
Step 2: make sure you actually got all the lint out and there isn't any hiding to the side.
~~The sim ejector pin that used to come with phones can sometimes just barely fit between the center blade and connector housing. Otherwise a paperclip with a slight hook bent into the end can work well.~~ Flosspicks work well to dig out the lint.
Also consider getting a wireless charger for nightly charging if your phone supports it.
I prefer a toothpick. Wood won’t scratch the metal or cause a short, but it’s still stiff enough to scrape any lint that’s stuck. And lint sticks a bit to the toothpick, so that helps get it out.
Neither will the plastic of a floss pick. And the floss pick is narrower so there is much less risk of deforming the interior parts of the plug. Also, less risk of splinters.
another good choice
