Question: What Do I Do If My Android Phone Gets Wet?
Contents

How do I dry out my Android phone?

We recommend focusing on shaking, blowing, or vacuuming as much water out of the phone as you can before trying to dry out your device. You should only rely on drying agents such as silica gel or rice to absorb the last few drops of residual moisture.

How long do you leave your phone in rice for?

Minimally, you want to dry your phone in rice for at least 24 hours, but expect this method to take longer. Even in the summer, a wet phone in rice usually takes at least two or three days to fully dry.
