When charging or connecting your iPhone to a computer via a USB port, the warning normally appears. This is especially true if the charging port on your **iPhone is damp or somewhat wet.** Otherwise, the notice appears to be a bug, indicating that something on your iPhone system needs to be corrected. \
Settings that have been screwed up as a result of a bad update can cause your device to perform strangely, and the warning you're seeing could be one of the signs. In this situation, conside**r resetting all of your iPhone's** settings to their default or original state. Here's how you do it:

1. Go to the General tab in the **Settings menu.**
2. A **reset** can be found by scrolling down and tapping it.
3. If prompted, enter your **device's passcode.**
4. Choose **Reset all settings** from the drop-down menu.

**Allow your iPhone to reboot** after the system settings reset and then configure necessary options accordingly. Try plugging the Lightning cable into the charging/Lightning port and see if the warning is gone.
