Your iPhone Fell in Water? What Should You Do?

You would tread very carefully if you own a costly phone, such as an iPhone. You'd do everything you could to keep it safe. Water damage is one type of harm that the iPhone cannot handle effectively. If a liquid or water is accidentally spilled on the screen or the phone is submerged in water. If that is the case, you should go to the nearest branch of iFixScreens. But in the meantime, some tricks may be helpful in emergencies to increase the chance of getting your phone repaired.

If you have a "fluid accident," you should quickly remove your phone from the water or fluid and carefully wipe it. You should also turn off your phone right away. The faster you complete those steps, the better your phone's chances of recovering from water damage.One of the most common ways to absorb water from your device's screen is to use:

• Place it in a bowl of raw rice. Rice is well-known for its ability to absorb water and moisture. A lot of user experience has also backed up this notion. Putting the phone in rice helped many people have good results with water-damaged screens. This method takes a bit of time because you'll need to soak your wet phone in rice for two days to achieve the most excellent results.
• Another simple fix is to use a hairdryer. Most companies, however, strongly warn against using hair dryers. However, if the screen is the problem, it shouldn't be too serious. You can use the dryer for a short time at the lowest heat setting. It would be best to keep it as far away from the phone as possible to avoid any damage to its other electronic components.
• You can also use silica gel, a very efficient absorbent. Just put your phone and two silica gel packets in a sealed bag. That will almost absorb all water if you leave it for about three days. As a result, many iPhone users suggest this method.
