What Should You Do If You Drop Your Phone in Water?

Accidents happen, and dropping your phone into water doesn't always mean it's beyond repair. Acting quickly can improve the chances of saving your device.

Step 1: Turn It Off Immediately

If your phone is still on, switch it off as soon as possible.

Step 2: Remove Accessories

Take off the phone case and remove the SIM card if possible.

Step 3: Do NOT Charge It

Avoid plugging your phone into a charger until it has been professionally inspected.

Step 4: Don't Put It in Rice

Despite the common myth, rice does not repair water damage. It can also leave dust and particles inside the charging port.

Step 5: Bring It to a Repair Professional

The sooner your phone is professionally cleaned and inspected, the better the chance of preventing corrosion.

At Tech Tunnel, our technicians can inspect water-damaged devices and advise on the best repair options.
