iPhone 8S cable falls in and out of charging.

My cable will not stay stable in the charging port on this phone. It falls in and out of charging and it wiggles. Is my port defective?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16

Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device, then plug your charging cable firmly into your device. If the charging port is damaged, your device probably needs a service. Let your device charge for half an hour.
