Have you ever jumped with your phone in your pocket into a pool of water? Have you ever lost your phone when the dishes or the laundry are being done? Or have you been caught without an umbrella in heavy rain?
Indeed, water can destroy not only the physical components of your phone, but you can also lose your images and documents. Do not think a lot if you ever go through any of these circumstances. We’re going to cover some practical stuff you should do in this article should your computer fall into the water.

Of course, the first thing you have to do is quickly get it out of the water. That’s because you’re going to get more water into your phone if you don’t do that, and the more water, the more dangerous your mobile will be.
You have to turn the phone off then. Your phone will often turn off when it gets in contact with the water. Your phone will undergo what we call short circulation if it does not, and you do not do this, and it will increase the harm to the mechanisms inside. Nonetheless, if the power button is not working and your phone is not “in-built”, immediately pull the battery.
Removing the sim card, memory card, headphones and all other peripherals is the next thing you can do. Also, you can remove the case or cover of the handset. These items can trap moisture and can avoid or decrease damage to the phone by removing it. (Remember to use the sim card, memory card, headphones, and peripherals to clean and dry)
Dry a cloth or a towel with your cell. This will just take care of the moisture on the phone’s surface. Go ahead and shake the unit to extract the droplets that are trapped inside (be sure not to drop the phone when doing this). Now, put your phone in a plastic bag and use a vacuum cleaner to suck the air out. This would suck the liquid right out of the device’s inner parts.
The next thing you can do is to put the phone, such as a bowl of rice, in an absorbent material. It is understood that a bowl of uncooked rice draws the remaining moisture away from the phone and flows into the rice. For a minimum of 2 days, place your phone in a container or bowl of rice. After 2 days, it is best for you to wait and let it dry.

You can turn the phone on after all the above operation. If it doesn’t work, then it usually means it is hurt. And if it turns on, chances are high that it may not be exactly as it used to be.
Now it’s time for your voice to be heard. What other stuff would you do to save your phone from getting wet? In the comments, let us know your thoughts.
