What to do if you drop your phone in water

What to do if you drop your phone in water

Water damage is one of the most common phone accidents. Acting fast in the first few minutes gives your device the best chance of survival.

The first steps

Take the phone out of the water immediately, turn it off, and dry the outside with a soft cloth. Remove the SIM tray and any case.

What NOT to do

Do not charge the phone, do not use a hair dryer, and forget the rice myth — it does not remove moisture from inside the device and can leave dust behind.

Bring it to a professional

The safest option is a proper de-oxidation. At iFixtech we open and clean the device to prevent corrosion — the sooner, the better.
