How to release water from your phone
If your phone is wet, there are a few things you can do to release the water and keep your device working.
The quickest way to remove water from an iPhone or iPad is to place the device in a bowl of tap water for about five minutes. This will help loosen any water trapped inside the device.
You can also use a hairdryer on high heat to speed up the process of releasing the water. Once the device is free of water, carefully remove it from the heat and allow it to cool before using it again.
If the water damage is severe, you may need to take your phone to a technician for repair.
How to clean your phone
Cleaning your phone is essential to keeping it in good shape. Here are a few tips on how to release water out of your phone:
1. If your phone is wet, first try to remove as much water as possible with a cloth or paper towel. Then, use a hairdryer set on warm to quickly dry the phone.
2. If your phone is already dry, gently shake it to free any excess water. Be careful not to damage the device.
3. If all else fails, use a can of compressed air to clean the inside of the phone’s casing.
How to remove water damage
If your phone has water damage, there are a few things you can do to try and release the water and get your phone working again.
The first step is to remove any metallic objects that may be trapping the water. You may need a paper towel or a clean cloth to do this. If the water is still attached to any plastics, you will need to use a hairdryer or heat to break them down and free up the water.
Once you have removed as much of the water as possible, place your phone in a bowl of cold water. This will shock the device and hopefully release any residual moisture. If the device doesn’t start working right away, give it some time and try again.
If all else fails, you will need to take your phone to a repair shop.
How to avoid water damage
Water can cause serious damage to your phone if it’s not released quickly. Here are some tips on how to avoid water damage and release water out of your phone:
1. Avoid submerging your phone in water or wet surfaces. If you do get caught in a rainstorm, keep your iPhone tucked away in an enclosed space until the storm has passed.
2. Turn off your device if it’s wet. Leaving a smartphone in a wet environment will lead to corrosion and eventually battery malfunction.
3. Don’t use a power adapter or USB charging cable while your phone is submerged in water. These accessories can create an electrical current that will help to pull moisture from the air and into the circuitry of the device, leading to even faster corrosion.
4. If you have to remove your phone from water, immediately turn it off and remove the battery if possible. Disconnect any cables and place the device on a dry surface before attempting to turn it on again.
