How to Fix iPhone Headphones Not Working

If your wired Lightning headphones aren't recognized, the issue is often debris or a “headphone mode” glitch.

Steps to fix:
  1. Clean the Port: Carefully clean the Lightning port to remove compacted lint.
  2. Reconnect: Unplug and replug the headphones firmly.
  3. Restart iPhone: This resets the audio output logic.
🤔 Note:

If your phone is stuck thinking headphones are plugged in when they aren't, Dr.Fone - System Repair (iOS) can force the system to reset its audio output status.
