How to fix your water-damaged phone in 8 steps

1. It must be taken out of the liquid right away. The more liquid seeps into different inlets the longer it stays there.
2. Leave the phone off after turning it off.
3. Take off the protective covering.
4. If at all feasible, open the back and take out the microSD card, battery, and SIM card (if you have one). Have trouble taking out the SIM card? View our iPhone and Android user guide.
5. Your phone should be dried with a cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing the phone because doing so could unintentionally push fluids into the more delicate areas of the device. You might try (very) carefully cleaning the area around the phone’s creases and openings if it was entirely submerged to remove extra water.
6. Do not expose your phone to the sun’s heat. Keep it somewhere dry and cool.
7. We do not advise using the advice you may have heard to put your phone in rice if it gets wet. Try silica gel packets instead, like the ones that frequently accompany new items like a pair of shoes, as they are considerably more effective. Place the phone inside a plastic zip-top bag filled with silica gel packets. Give your phone 24 to 48 hours in the bag.
8. Turn on your phone once it has completely dried. Charge it completely before trying again if it doesn’t turn on immediately away.
