How to Dry Off a Soaked iPhone (Don’t Use Rice)

Have you accidentally dropped your iPhone in water and now it’s soaked? Don’t worry, there are ways to dry it off without using the old rice trick. Here are some steps you can take to try and salvage your iPhone:

Step 1: Turn Off Your iPhone

The first thing you should do is turn off your iPhone immediately. This will prevent any short circuits from occurring.

Step 2: Remove the SIM Card

If you have a SIM card in your iPhone, make sure to remove it. This will help prevent any damage to the card.

Step 3: Use a Lint-Free Cloth

Gently dry off your iPhone using a lint-free cloth. Make sure to remove any excess water from the outside of the phone.

Step 4: Use a Hair Dryer on Low Heat

You can use a hairdryer on low heat to help dry off the inside of your iPhone. Make sure to keep it at a safe distance and not overheat the phone.

Step 5: Wait for 24 Hours

After following the above steps, leave your iPhone in a dry place for at least 24 hours. This will give it enough time to dry off completely.

If after following these steps your iPhone still doesn’t turn on or show signs of life, it’s best to take it to a professional to see if it can be repaired.
