How to Save a Wet Cellphone

First, don’t panic.

Immediately take out your phone battery and dry the phone with a towel. The reason why our phones stop working after its been in the water is because the battery shorts the phone when you try to turn it on again without letting it dry. The only way to save your wet cellphone is to put your phone in a bag of rice. It sounds absurd but the rice sucks up the moisture that’s in the phone. Be patient and leave it in there for 2 to 3 days without turning the phone on. After a few days, take it out of the bag of rice and leave it on something warm like the TV for a few minutes before turning it back on.

I have a few friends who said it worked for them so best of luck!
