When you connect your iPhone to a power source, it's software (charging system) determines whether or not to charge the battery. If the charging mechanism is hampered by iOS 11 problems, it may be unable to perform its functions. As a consequence, your iPhone will either not charge or will charge incorrectly. You may start by doing a soft reset or just restarting your iPhone. To begin, follow these steps to conduct a soft reset on your iPhone 7:

  1. For a few seconds, press and hold the Power button until the Slide to Power Off screen displays.
  2. To totally turn off your iPhone, drag the slider.
  3. Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds after 30 seconds, until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
  4. Allow your iPhone to fully startup before charging it again.

To rule out the chance that the problem is caused by a faulty outlet, try using various outlets or power sources. You might try connecting or plugging your iPhone into a computer or power devices such as a USB hub, docking station, or other Apple-approved peripherals. Make sure your computer is not in sleep mode before attaching your charging wire to it. Avoid using the USB ports on your keyboard as much as possible.

As a safety precaution, if your iPhone charging system senses power fluctuations, it will block your device from charging. One of the primary reasons your iPhone won't charge using other power sources is this.

If you have another Apple charger, try it out to see if it will work.
