To get water out of an iPhone, a widely recommended method is to use a special Water Eject shortcut or app that causes the phone to vibrate or play a low- frequency sound, which helps to push water out of the speakers and ports. This is similar to the Apple Watch's water ejection feature. After running the shortcut, keep the phone upright and dry it off with a microfiber cloth, and let it air dry in a place with good airflow. Avoid inserting items like cotton swabs or using heat like hair dryers, as these can cause more damage. For charging port water detection, let the phone sit and dry for at least 30 minutes to a day with airflow before trying to charge again. Key methods include:
- Using the Water Eject shortcut or app that plays low-frequency sounds or vibrations to expel water from speakers.
- Drying the phone externally and tapping it gently on a cloth to encourage water to come out.
- Keeping the phone upright so gravity helps water drain.
- Allowing time for the internal moisture to evaporate in a dry area with airflow.
- Avoiding heat and insertion of objects into ports.
This approach is safe for iPhones and helps to clear water from speakers and ports effectively without risking damage from extreme heat or forced drying.
