For years, smartphone users have relied on rice absorption to save their soaked devices. This theory believes that dry rice removes moisture from the phone. But Apple does not recommend using this technique, according to Gizmodo.

The company claims that doing so could “let tiny rice particles damage your iPhone.” Apple also warns of the danger of other “hacks” like using a nearby heat source or cotton to dry your phone. Instead, the company recommends leaving your device unplugged and gently tapping it with your hand.

Leave your phone in a dry, ventilated area then try to charge it after 30 minutes. If you see an alert, there is fluid left in your phone and you will need to repeat the process. If your phone is dry but isn’t charging, unplug the charger from the adapter and the wall, plug it back in and try again, according to Apple.
