It fell out of my back pocket as I was about to s8t down and.... sploosh 
Fished out and shaken dry. I turned it off straight away and I’ve taken the screen off to mop the water out with tissue. Hair drier time.
Wish me luck  |

"Noooooooo!
Don't get the hairdryer out!
Stick it in some rice! It'll absorb all the water and your phone should be ok! "
 Did this with mine when it got wet. Works a treat  |

Lol. It is an iPhone. I’d rice it if I couldn’t open it but the screen is off already and I’ve mopped most of the water up with tissue. Quick blast with my hair drier and it’s warm, open and drying out. |

Knot top and put in airing cupboard |

Apparently this works - the rice absorbs all the water.
Next time, show some respect and send me saucy photos whilst sitting on a sofa not the toilet.  |

"Has anyone else opened theirs to dry it out? "
I just take the battery out and put it in the rice in two bits.
Hairdryer never works tho cos it can't get to the water inside, the rice basically sucks it out.
Science is cool  |

Rice works brilliantly. Obviously not cooked. Saved my old phone 3 times |

Batteries don’t come out of iPhones easily. They’re stuck in so you have to heat them up and lever them out. It’s quite a battle.
I have it in a bag with rice now. Open though so it’s all vulnerable and exposed |

My auntie has done this to FOUR iphones, two while d*unk, two while sober. And she’s the sensible one! None of them worked after. For one she didn’t even realise it fell in, and shat all over it...... |

Oh no! Mrs did exactly the same with an iPhone 6, it was irreparable but insured, sent it off and it was replaced but did exactly the same again two weeks later, same result. Really hope this isn't the case for you and you have insurance. Genuinely gutted for you, phones are expensive items these days.   |

It is a 6. I’m sure it’ll be fine. I dropped my 5 in a bucket of mucky water and I saved that one.

Please keep us all in the know how you get on, if you save it knowing how you did it could potentially save us a small fortune in the future. |

I'm not sure I believe this "it fell out of my pocket" story.
Is it more likely that you were taking vag pics to send to innocent men?

"If it's an iphone you should have just flush it "
Haha.
Also op, I did this a long time ago, although the rice trick did work. And it did, my home bottom and speaker started with problems within a few months. Just a heads up.
You wouldn’t believe how many people drop them in the loo. |

This is why I warmed it up with the screen removed. I imagine your button and speaker started to corrode.
Using rice and surrounding a closed device hoping it draws moisture out didn’t seem to be the best way seeing as I have the tools to open it.
I used to be an aircraft engineer some time ago and we had procedures to salvage electronic equipment from aircraft that had been ditched in water.
Only time will tell now if mine corrode. If they do I’ll just change them |

True. It was an easy fix. (Parts bought of eBay.) and the pins were greenish with the water damage. I do think the rice did help. iPhones are a pain in the ass trying to open now. |

Surely you have to sit for a number 2 anyway, or it would all just run down the back of your legs........
I still think this talk of using the loo is a red herring, I still reckon you were taking Vag pics......

"I second rice leave it in it overnight "
or those silica gel balls that you always throw away as you will never need them again, much better than rice as brown rice doesn't absorb anything when cold. |

I went to a watersports event at an adult club a few years ago with my female partner of the time and my phone got wet with a bit more than water! I tried the rice trick then, but I guess it doesn't work with pee! Needless to say, when I put on the insurance claim form that I'd got the phone wet I didn't go into any more detail than that... |
