Got this notification of moisture in the charging port when I tried to charge using the charger in my car. It is wet and raining but the charger was dry and my phone was dry in my purse. Can't see anything in the port, have blowed cool air in it to clear out any dust and nothing... still notification that there is moisture in the charging port. Any ideas?

Have you tried using a different cable?
I have found in the past that different cables don't matter. Samsung seems to have it set up that it won't charge if it detects moisture.

They been try restarting the phone, other wise wait it out. I can't remember if wireless charging works, they can try that

Wait it out? You mean at some point the notification will disappear?

In the past when I was randomly getting this, it was due to crappy cables. I used to buy any generic USB c cable and they would cause this. I started using Sammy branded chargers and cables and haven't had this since. Not saying you have crappy cables, but in my case, it was the cables.

Use a blow dryer, make sure blower isn't close to phone.
