Did your iPhone get wet? Apple now advises against putting it in rice for water damage. Learn the new recommended steps for drying out your device.

Instead of rice, Apple recommends gently wiping your iPhone dry and letting it air out. Avoid using heat sources like hair dryers to prevent further damage.
3:
If your iPhone got wet, turn it off immediately and remove any case or accessories. Check for water in ports and openings, and use a soft, absorbent cloth.

Do not shake or blow on your iPhone to try and remove water. This can push water further into the device and cause more harm. Be gentle in handling it.
5:
Leave your iPhone in a dry, well-ventilated space for at least 24 hours to allow the water to evaporate naturally. Avoid using or charging the device during this time.
6:
Consider placing your wet iPhone near a fan or dehumidifier to help speed up the drying process. Do not use heat sources like ovens or microwaves.
7:
After 24 hours, check your iPhone for any signs of moisture. If it looks and feels dry, turn it back on and test its functionality. If issues persist, contact Apple.
8:
Remember to back up your data regularly to iCloud or iTunes to prevent loss in case of water damage. Consider investing in a waterproof case for added protection.
