If it's still on, power it down. Water and electronics don't mix well, and turning it off helps prevent any short circuits. Use a soft cloth or paper towel to gently pat it dry. Avoid shaking it or blowing into it, as this could push water further into the device. he old rice trick isn’t as effective as people think. It can even get dust and starch into your phone. Instead, try using silica gel packets if you have them. They're much better at absorbing moisture. If you have a small vacuum, use it to suck out any remaining water. Just be careful not to use too much force. Leave your phone in a dry area with good airflow. You can place it near a fan or in front of an air conditioner vent. Give it at least 24-48 hours to dry out completely.

iPhones have water damage indicators. On the iPhone 13, these are inside the SIM card slot. If they’ve turned red, it means water has likely gotten inside.

That hurts I would beupset to. Takenit to the apple store maybe ask them what options they might have. That's just torrible wasteof money and your phone is extremely overly expensive. That is an expensive phone.

Take it to a phone repair place. Even if you dry it out there'll be a layer of film left on the circuits that'll play havoc. Main thing is don't try and switch it on.

First thing to do is fish it out, making sure you don't grab the wrong thing, as it is hard to distinguish between anything else you might find in the toilet!

Rinse it with vinegar for desinfection. Then dry it for 30 seconds in a microwave on medium power. Next: see if the toilet had been damaged in some way.

modern phones are highly water resistant. i suggest isopropyl alcohol. rinse the phone with it thoroughly. you can even dunk it. it won't mess with electronics even if it gets in them.

Put it in a big bowl of rice. If you have a lot of those silica gel packs, put it into a bowl of those.
