Charger cables go through a lot. It is wrapped, unwrapped, bent, worn out, pushed into bags and pockets. It’s easy for them to wear over time, and eventually they break completely.

If there’s no fault with the cable, the charger might still be the problem. Look at the wall adapter and make sure the cable is fully plugged into the outlet. If this is not the problem, then check it back to make sure that nothing is stuck inside and that none of the pieces are bent.

If you don’t see anything wrong with it then test your charge with a different adapter or if you don’t have a spare then connect the cable to your computer. If your phone starts to charge then the adapter is to blame.
