Nowadays mobile phones have become the main exigency to all of us; and with the daily use of the cellular phone, it might be vulnerable to accidents like loss, theft or water corruption. Having a phone dropped in water is very potential to happen. And if we do not handle the situation seriously, we might end up losing our handset.
In this tutorial, I am going to tell what would you do if ever you had your phone water soaked so as to save it from ruin. Here are the steps:
1. Remove The Battery
No matter where your phone was dropped (water tub, sink, toilet, sea...) or had liquids spilt on it, the first thing you should consider is immediately taking off the back case and removing the battery from the phone without even thinking to shut it down first. If you have an iPhone, just power it off right away. Separating the battery from the phone prevents from creating a short circuit.
2. Remove the SD Card and SIM Card.
Try to remove your sim(s), SD card and any other accessories attached to the phone.
3.Dry Off Your Phone
Take a piece of cloth and start to lightly dry your phone off and all the other accessories as much as possible. Do not try to expose it to the sunlight or use a hair dryer; This may risk damaging the internal parts.
4. Put The Phone In Rice
Yes i know this sounds weird and I did have that surprise on my face when I first heard about it. So, submerge both of the phone and the battery in a container of rice for up to one day.
As long as rice is highly absorbent, it will help your phone dry quickly. The longer you keep your phone in rice the better it is. If it is badly soaked with water, you can keep it in rice for 3 days.

5. Power On Your Phone
Now it is time to test your phone after 24 hours and let's hope things won't go wrong. But If it does not power on, then you should get a new battery, and it will work unless the components were severely damaged with water.
