First: no panic, no guarantee

Even a water-resistant iPhone can be damaged by liquid. No app can reliably detect internal moisture or rule out later damage. DeviceAid provides guidance and local tools but does not replace repair service.

Immediate steps

Disconnect cables and accessories. Do not charge while liquid in the connector is suspected.
Gently dry the outside with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Point openings down without shaking the device hard.
Leave the iPhone in a dry, ventilated place and follow the manufacturer’s guidance.
Seek professional help if the device becomes hot, behaves unusually, or internal liquid is suspected.

What to avoid

no rice, as particles can enter openings
no heater, hair dryer, or strong direct heat
no sharp objects or compressed air in openings
no charging while the connector may be wet
do not intentionally wet the device to test a feature

Put Water Eject in context

Quick Clean, Standard Clean, and Deep Clean play local sound patterns. They may help move water from the speaker area; results vary. Disconnect Bluetooth headphones, use the iPhone speaker, and stop immediately if sound is uncomfortable. Water Eject guarantees neither complete removal nor repair.

Check manually after drying

When further use appears safe, Speaker Test and Microphone Test let you listen for unusual sound. Dead Pixel Test, Display Artifact Test, and Touch Grid Test support manual visual and touch checks. An unremarkable result cannot rule out internal damage.

When professional help makes sense

Contact a qualified service if sound, display, touch, haptics, or charging remains unusual, the device becomes unusually warm, or you are uncertain. DeviceAid performs no automatic liquid-damage diagnosis.
