Here are the steps to take when your phone falls into water to minimize damage:

1. Quickly remove the phone from the water: The longer it stays submerged, the higher the risk of damage.

2. Turn off the phone immediately: This helps prevent short circuits and component failure.

3. Disassemble removable parts: If possible, remove the battery, SIM card, and memory card to dry them separately.

4. Wipe the exterior dry: Use a soft cloth to absorb water on the phone’s surface.

5. Absorb internal moisture: Place the phone in a sealed bag with silica gel packets or dry rice for 48 hours to absorb moisture.

6. Avoid using high heat: Do not use a hairdryer or expose the phone to direct sunlight, as excessive heat may damage internal components.

7. Check before turning it on: After ensuring the phone is completely dry, reassemble the parts and power it on.

If the phone does not function properly, take it to an authorized service center or a reliable repair shop for professional assistance.

Note that these steps are for reference only and do not guarantee full recovery of the phone’s functionality.
