1. Turn It Off Immediately

• If it’s still on, power it off to avoid short circuits.
• Don’t press any buttons unnecessarily.

2. Remove Accessories

• Take off the case, SIM card, and any connected accessories to help it dry faster.

3. Dry the Outside

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe off as much water as possible.
• Gently shake the phone with ports facing downward to remove trapped water.

4. Don’t Use Heat or Rice

• Don’t use a hairdryer, oven, or direct sunlight—heat can cause more damage.
• Don’t put it in rice—it’s not very effective, and rice dust can clog the ports.

5. Use Silica Gel Packets (If Available)

• Place your phone in a sealed bag with silica gel packets (the ones found in shoeboxes).
• Leave it for at least 24-48 hours.

6. Avoid Charging Too Soon

• Wait at least 24 hours before trying to turn it on or charge it.
• If you see a “liquid detected” warning, wait longer.

7. Try Wireless Charging

• If your Lightning port still has moisture, wireless charging may work instead.

8. Check for Functionality

• After at least 24 hours, turn it on and test the touchscreen, speaker, microphone, and camera.

9. Get Professional Help if Needed

• If your iPhone isn’t working properly, visit an Apple Store or repair shop.
• Apple’s limited warranty doesn’t cover liquid damage, but if you have AppleCare+, it may be repaired at a lower cost.
