• Power Off: Turn off your device completely. This is crucial. Do not attempt to turn it on or use it while there's a chance of moisture inside. See also: Turning off your device.

• Gently Dry the Exterior: Use a clean, lint-free cloth to carefully dry the outside of your phone, paying special attention to the area around the charging port.

• Remove Excess Water (Carefully): Gently tap your device against your palm with the charging port facing down to dislodge any trapped water. Avoid shaking it vigorously.

• Air Dry: Allow the charging port to air dry naturally. You can place your device in a well-ventilated area.

• Avoid Rice: Despite the common myth, placing your phone in rice is not recommended. It's not effective and can introduce dust and starch into the port, causing more problems. See also: Air%20drying.
