Oops, your phone fell into water? Don’t panic, but don’t buy into the rice myth either! About a quarter of smartphone users have suffered water damage, and the first moments after contact with liquid are crucial for saving your device. Turn it off immediately, don’t press any buttons, remove the SIM card, and air dry it — no hairdryers! Charging before it’s completely dry can be fatal. If that doesn’t work, get professional help. Forget old tricks and save your wallet from expensive repairs! Who else has drowned their phone? Share your watery disasters with us!
