Good tips for handling a phone stuck in water

✅ Second Option: Ventilated Air-Dry

• Stand your phone upright in a dry area with good airflow.
• Point a fan at it for at least 24 hours.
• This method is slower but safe and effective.

⏳ Step 5: Wait… and Test

Once your phone has dried for at least 24–48 hours:

• Check carefully for any moisture left in ports or under the screen.
• If everything looks dry, power it on.
• Test the screen, speakers, camera, microphone, and charging port.

If you notice glitches or malfunctions, take it to a repair shop as soon as possible.

🛡 Bonus Tip: Get a Waterproof Case (Next Time!)

If you’re often around water—whether you’re a beach lover, boater, or just accident-prone—it’s worth investing in a waterproof or water-resistant case. You can also look into waterproof pouches for extra protection during trips or workouts.

🧠 Final Thought

A phone in water is stressful, but not necessarily a death sentence. With fast thinking and the right drying method, you have a good chance of reviving it. Remember: the key is no heat, no power, and lots of patience.

So next time your phone decides to take a swim, stay calm and follow these steps—and you just might save the day (and your data)!
