Heat can damage delicate electronics or melt internal components. Instead, let it air dry naturally.

6. Use Silica Gel Packets or Uncooked Rice to Absorb Moisture
Place the phone in a sealed container filled with silica gel packets or uncooked rice for 24-48 hours to help draw out moisture. Silica gel is preferred as it’s more effective.

7. Don’t Charge or Turn On the Phone Until Completely Dry
Trying to turn it on too soon can cause electrical damage. Wait until you are confident it is fully dry.

8. Consider Professional Help if Necessary
If the phone doesn’t work after drying or shows signs of damage, consult a professional repair service.

Bonus Tip: Prevent Future Water Damage
Invest in a waterproof case or use waterproof pouches when near water to protect your phone.
