Many of us have faced the water ejection problem once in a while. If you own an iPhone, you know that it is not the most waterproof device in the market. Even with all the precautions you take and other safeguards to keep it dry, there are some chances that your phone will get wet. When this happens, your phone starts making noises. Check out if you also experience this problem: – You take a quick bath or sink your phone into water accidentally, leaving it there for a few minutes as you rinse it off; – You spill water on your phone while taking photos outside. Here’s one thing we can assure: Let it be rain or snow, nothing is going to help when it comes to recharging your phone after being immersed in water;

Did you take a bath or accidentally sink your phone?

We did, already, but do you remember the water damage repair process? This is just one of the many steps. If you didn’t take a bath, then you need to first verify that your phone is actually wet so you can know how severe the damage is. For example, some wet spots on your phone’s back cover might not cause any problem. Is your phone completely submerged? Is it a scuba diving trip gone wrong? The first thing to do is to take your phone out of the water. Make sure the inside and outside are dry. Give it a shake or two if you can.

Check if your phone is wet

Okay, now that you have taken your phone out of the water and let it dry, you need to see if it is wet. This is the most difficult step in the process. When you have water damage, you won’t be able to tell if your phone is wet or not. In order to know this, you need to ensure that there is no charging cable connected to your phone. Open the “Settings” app, find the “Battery” section, and turn on “Battery Percentage”. Now, check to see if the “Battery Percentage” animation is full. If it is not full, it means that your phone is charging. This will show that your phone is charging even when it might be wet.

Take dry showers, don’t use the bathroom while your phone is on the charger, or in general use extreme caution when using a charger and keep it away from water.

This is obvious and expected. However, if you are still finding it difficult to keep your iPhone dry, follow these guidelines. Make sure that your iPhone is completely dry before placing it back on the charger. Place your iPhone inside a cloth bag or a plastic bag to keep it away from moisture. Do not put it on a desk or table that is near a water source. Do not leave it unattended while charging. Not just all these, but also, ensure that your iPhone is placed inside a dry bag or case.
