My iPhone 16 is not turning on after using someone's charger

I borrowed someone’s charger and used it for my iPhone 16 and now it won’t even turn on. There was also a notification that said this battery is unrecognized before it stopped working

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store.

That's a hardware problem.

There's a good chance it was damaged by the charger you used.
