Apple updated support section The website has recommendations for caring for your iPhone if the device comes into contact with water. For example, Apple does not recommend drying your smartphone with rice.
According to the support page, if your iPhone has been exposed to water or the liquid detection indicator appears on the screen, you should not use external heat sources such as a hair dryer or compressed air to dry your iPhone. This may damage device components or cause overheating. Also, do not insert foreign objects such as cotton swabs, paper towels, or toothpicks into the charging connector to remove moisture; This may cause a short circuit or clogged connector.
Apple specifically states that you should not put your iPhone in a rice bag or other items that are supposed to absorb moisture. Rice grains may scratch or stain your iPhone and may not keep your device completely dry.
Instead, it is recommended to turn your iPhone upside down and tap it with your hand to force excess liquid out of the connector, then leave the device in a dry, well-ventilated place and let it dry naturally. This may take 30 minutes or longer depending on how wet your smartphone is.
However, if your iPhone has come into contact with moisture, do not connect it to the charger or accessories until it is completely dry. If the device is dry but not charging, you need to disconnect the charger and try again later.
