My dad told me that the new update on IOS means that it wont let you use third-party chargers.
I downloaded that today, without knowing that fact. My iphone 5 was my aunt's old one. She's told me that its a genuine charger, but its just not working. It did have a few problems before now, but it still WORKED. My phone is on 1% and its my birthday tomorrow, so I won't be able to be contacted by anyone or take photos or anything and its just so ANNOYING.
AAAAARRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
