Water is the biggest nemesis of your beloved gadgets, including your iPhones. Although iPhones are water-resistant, they can get damaged from prolonged submersion into the water. But fret not; here are the five most effective ways to eject water from your iPhone.

Let’s look at the steps to follow:

5. Dry Out Charging Port

Furthermore, if your iPhone has water in the lightning port or USB-C port, it might show a warning to remove the water before plugging it into charging. And since there is no speaker inside the lightning or USB-C ports, you’ll have to use old-fashioned methods here.

Put your iPhone in a jar full of rice or use silica gel or cotton pads to soak excess water from the iPhone lightning port/USB-C/speaker grills.

Tip: Silica gel is a good moisture absorbent and usually comes with electronic gadgets in boxes in tiny little packets.

Note: This method is less effective than others in this article. So, ensure you have used the above methods and are not relying only on cotton pads or rice.

6. (Bonus) Seek Professional Help

If you still face issues with your iPhone speakers, we suggest you contact Apple support for further customized assistance.

Get Rid of Moisture

Like Apple Watch, Apple should make a one-tap solution for ejecting water on the iPhone to make the process easier. However, till then, you can use the above methods to eject water from your iPhone speakers.

Note that the Shortcuts app and the third-party app allow you to have more control over the intensity of sound playing from the speakers for better efficacy in getting rid of any moisture from your iPhone.
