Apple has warned users against using a popular method of drying out water-damaged iPhones by placing them in a bag of uncooked rice.

In a support document on its website, Apple stated that while rice can absorb moisture in the surrounding air, it does not effectively remove moisture from inside the device.

Instead, Apple recommends users to turn off their iPhone immediately and wipe off any visible liquid, then let it air dry for at least 24 hours before attempting to turn it back on.

According to Apple, using rice to dry out a wet iPhone can potentially cause more harm than good, as the rice particles can get stuck in the device’s ports and openings.

So next time your iPhone takes an unexpected dip, remember to follow Apple’s official guidelines for drying out your device, and leave the rice in the kitchen.
