Pocket lint in lightning port

[eclipse01]

Is it ok to just use a toothpick? Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

I am just worried about damaging the port

A can of compressed air should take care of it.

Was worried nobody would respond to this thread since it doesn't have Iphone7 in the title

Thanks

i've gotten it out with a toothpick before. it's fine. just make sure it's not splintered.

I've found these plastic picks work best. Drag it along the bottom of the port until it's smooth with no resistance. I had to use a good amount of force because it was so compacted.

I turn the phone off and use a very small pin.

I use a toothpick to clean the port out.

Can of Compressed Air would be my first choice over sticking something inside the bottom of the port, you could chance damaging the connectors inside.

Alternatively you could get a rocket blower usually used in Photography for cleaning camera lenses.
