Dropped my phone In water.

[Mordyk]

I left my iPhone in rice for 2 days until motzei shabbos and my phone works! But the screen is very water damaged 

Shut it for another 2 days.   My wife had that and the water in the screen slowly went away

I did that and a lot of the water damage went away, but there still is substantial water staining... but at least I have a working phone...

glad to hear.  maybe give it some more time. if it did not ruin the screen then maybe it can still dry and go away

Leave it someplace warm with good airflow for a few days. Water should evaporate.

for next time. if it gets wet with anything but water (and even when its just water preferably), get it to a technician ASAP to open and dry out.  acid/etc can erode

Yup! Def the best to do!

my Galaxy s7 fell into the bath. toko a few seconds until i got it out. it worked perfectly and when i tried charging it i got a notification about water by the plug area. i unplugged and the next morning all as good. i was shocked how water resistant this is

same thing happened to my wifes iphone once, it went blurry and whatever else...

Just a note about using rice to dry out a phone.
Those packets of 'desiccant' that keep things dry during shipping work too.  Perhaps even better.  I'm taking about those little packets that come in pocketbooks and shoe boxes, etc.  Don't throw them away. Save them for when something gets wet. The packets can be warmed in an oven (at 150F ?) to get them dried out to work again.

Or you can just microwave it on high with your phone for 60 seconds

Microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Take out the battery first?!

take out battery or uncover anything you can and blow dry it worked for me in the past

I have found rice to work magic as well.

Instant rice? Since regular rice has been debunked time and time again. Air-dry wins.

Better than air dry, is putting it where water will be drawn out of it.
So rice, 'desiccant' or warm, dry area works better than just waiting.
