the hair dryer might not be such a good idea. You might get lucky and
fix the issue, but you're also going to create humidity inside the phone
that could cause major damage to the device. Rubbing the phone down with
an alcohol wipe would work a little better. My ear speaker got water in
it and I dripped a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol inside the grill to
evaporate the water. But don't make a habit out of doing this because it
could ware down the finger print resistance that Apple applies to the
outside of the iPhone. There is an app called speaker cleaner that uses
tones like the Apple watch to expel water from the speakers.

Use the rice if you like but be aware that it’s been found to be a myth
The best thing to do is put the phone somewhere warmish and in a towel or
something
So that the warmth allows the water to evaporate

Hi. I would do this if I could figure out how to remove the case. It feels
like it's in 2 separate pieces. The Verizon store put it on for me, so I never
saw the case before it was on the phone.
I think I have some rice, though, so I can at least do that.

I would start by turning the phone off, I mean all the way off like
power it down. Then I would take it out of the case and put it in a bag of
uncooked rice. Leave it there overnight before you try turning it on again or
plugging it in.
I’ve had this happened to my phone as well and it made me feel dumb
too. But my phone was OK and I think yours will be too.

Hi, all. I'm so ready to kick myself.
I know the newer iPhones are water resistant, but how resistant?
I was in the kitchen cooking and had my phone on the counter so
I could use the speaker phone. I moved a dish towel and woops, my phone slid
off the counter and into a full sink of soapy water.
This is an iPhone 12 Pro that has a Zag case on it with a
tempord glass screen protector. The case has TPU bumpers on the edges of the
phone and a hard shell on the back and halfway up the sides of the phone. None
of the ports are protected like the battery charger or speakers.
I scooped the phone out of the water as soon as it happened and
was able to continue my conversation with no sign of the phone malfunctioning.
It seems to be Okay, except the edges of the case where the TPU touches the
screen are damp. The speakers sound Okay and all of the buttons are working.
Do I put it in a bag of rice or what? Ironically, I have a day
before I need to return it to Verizon.
How soon can I safely plug the phone into a brick charger or
should I even try??
HTH. And yes, I feel really dumb. I'm going to price Otterbox cases
now. <sigh>
