Your Phone Got Dunked In Water? Here’s What To Do by KoboUP(op): 12:27pm On Oct 20, 2015
If your precious smartphone gets water spilled on it, or falls into a bowl of water or the PC bowl (yuck!), don’t panic. There is something that you can do immediately to save it.

What To Do:

1. Turn it off immediately, and if the battery is removable, do remove it

2. Immerse the phone in a container of dry uncooked rice for about 8 hours

3. Put the battery back in and turn it back on.

Why rice? Rice is an absorbent and so absorbs moisture. When you immerse your wet phone in rice, the rice absorbs the moisture without putting your phone at the risk of heat. Sunning your wet phone can actually be damaging, as direct heat isn’t exactly what the doctor ordered.

Alternatively, just buy a water-proof smartphone instead if you regularly hang around a lot of water, so you never have to worry.
