What to Do When Your Phone Falls in Water

Accidents happen, and one of the most dreaded moments is when your phone takes an unexpected plunge into water—whether it’s a pool, sink, or even a basin. At Jits Solutions, we’ve got you covered with these do’s and don’ts to save your device and prevent further damage.

Do’s

  1. Act Quickly: Remove the phone from the water immediately to minimize water penetration.
  2. Turn It Off: If it’s still on, power it down immediately and hold it upright to prevent water from spreading.
  3. Disassemble Carefully: Remove accessories like SIM cards, memory cards, and—if possible—the battery. For non-removable batteries, consult a professional or check reliable tutorials online.
  4. Dry It Thoroughly: Use a soft cloth to wipe away visible water. A vacuum cleaner can help suck out moisture.
  5. Absorb Moisture: Place your phone in a bowl of uncooked rice or silica gel for 48-72 hours without attempting to turn it on.

Don’ts

  1. Avoid Shaking: Shaking the phone can push water deeper into the device.
  2. Don’t Press Buttons: This can further drive water into internal components.
  3. No Hairdryers: Using heat can cause more damage to the phone’s circuits.
  4. Don’t Power It On Prematurely: Allow sufficient drying time before testing your phone.
