What to Do Immediately After Dropping Your iPhone in Water – Expert Advice from Raipur’s Best Service Center

Dropped your iPhone in water? Whether it fell into a sink, toilet, rain puddle, or even your tea cup — don’t panic. With the right steps, your device can be saved.

At iPhone Doctor, Raipur’s most experienced iPhone service center, we handle dozens of water-damaged iPhones every month. The key to saving them? Immediate, correct action — by you and then by us.

In this post, we’ll guide you step-by-step on what to do right after water damage and explain how we safely recover even severely soaked iPhones.

💦 Step 1: Power Off Immediately

If your iPhone is still on after exposure to water, turn it off immediately. Keeping it on allows current to flow through wet components, which can cause shorts or permanent board damage.

Don’t check “if it still works” by turning it back on — that causes more damage.

🧻 Step 2: Dry the Exterior (Gently)

Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the outside — especially the charging port, SIM tray area, speaker holes, and buttons. Do not shake the phone aggressively; it may push water deeper.

🚫 Step 3: Avoid These Common Mistakes

• ❌ Don’t use a hairdryer (heat causes corrosion)

• ❌ Don’t put it in rice (it traps moisture inside)

• ❌ Don’t plug in your charger

• ❌ Don’t open the phone yourself

These myths have caused more iPhones to die than water itself.
