What should you do when your phone gets wet, and what common drying myths should

 title: 'Here’s the Right Way to Rescue a Soaking Wet Smartphone'

If your phone gets wet, retrieve it immediately and power it down to prevent short circuits[1][3]. Remove the case, SIM card, and any accessories, then gently dab the exterior dry with a lint-free cloth[4][5].

Avoid common myths like using rice, which can introduce dust and starch into your device, or using heat sources like hair dryers that damage internal seals[1][2]. If the phone remains unresponsive or shows signs of corrosion, seek professional repair instead of attempting DIY fixes[4].
