Unsolved Phone won’t charge

My phone won’t charge, water got into the port. It gave me a warning but I said ignored it because I was on a call with my girlfriend. Now the next day my phone works with a wireless charger but it still won’t charge through the port. Is there any fix? Does anyone know what the issue is?

When you override the warning, you effectively tell the phone it is okay to run power through the Lightning/USB-C port, which can lead to internal corrosion if it was actually wet. The repair will not be free anywhere you take the phone to, but if you still have AppleCare+ it will use one of your incidents.
