Apple warns of the dangers of drying wet phones with rice
If your iPhone gets wet, you might think of putting it in a bag of rice to absorb the moisture. But this method might be wrong and harmful, according to Apple’s warning. What is the safe and effective alternative to get rid of water in your smart phone?
Water Eject feature: the magic solution to eject water from your iPhone
Apple offers an important and innovative feature in iPhones, called Water Eject or Eject Water. This feature works by emitting a sound that vibrates through the speakers in the phone, to push the water droplets out of the device. This method is more effective and safer than using rice or any other material to dry the phone.
How to use the Water Eject feature in your iPhone?
To benefit from the Water Eject feature in your iPhone, you need to download the Shortcuts app from the app store and open it to access the gallery. Then search for the Water Eject shortcut and click on it to add it to your app. After that, you can click on the start button, or start ejecting water, to activate the feature. You will hear a tone indicating that the phone is ejecting water from the speakers. Wait for 15 seconds, then a message will appear confirming that the process is completed.
Can Siri help you eject water from your iPhone?
Yes, Apple’s digital assistant Siri can help you activate the Water Eject feature easily. All you have to do is say: “Siri, eject water”. And Siri will run the feature for you automatically. But remember that this feature might not be enough, if your phone was submerged in water for a long time. In this case, it is advised to contact Apple’s service center to make sure the phone is safe.
