Most modern smartphones are usually waterproof, but this does not always protect them from moisture one hundred percent. SSPDaily has shared a few life hacks that will help you dry a phone that has fallen into water.
Use rice
If your smartphone falls into water, you should immediately turn it off, remove all covers, SIM cards, and SD cards. Placing the wet phone in a deep bowl of rice for at least 24 hours can absorb moisture and minimize potential damage. This can help a lot, but it's worth noting that some water may still remain inside.
Using silica gel
After drying your phone thoroughly with a towel, you can place it in a ziplock bag with the silica gel packets. Leaving your phone in this environment for 24-48 hours will help absorb moisture and help save your device.
Using a vacuum
If you have a powerful enough vacuum cleaner nearby, it can help. This method can help to restore it, but you should be careful not to over-suck, which can damage the device.
