Hi, you can power off your phone, take off any case which may be on it. Put it inside a zip lock bag with rice and leave it there for about 2 days. That should get any moisture out of the phone and into the rice. I have below a link which explains more and offers links to even more tips. https

Hi Ariana, The recommended thing to do here is to turn the phone off completely as Lauren already advised and then to stick it in a bowl filled with rice. You want to completely cover it with rice and this will draw out any moisture. Leave it there for 2 to 3 days. If your iPhone is your primary p
