-Do not try to bake your device in the sunlight. Place it in a dry, cool area.
There's a good chance you've heard to place the phone into rice when it becomes wet, however, we don't suggest this method. Instead, you should try silica gel packs, such as the ones you get with new products, like shoes, because they've proved to be more efficient. In a plastic zip-top bag, fill it with silica gel and place the phone inside the bag. Place your phone in the bag for up to 24 hours.
After you've allowed your device to completely dry, switch it on. If it isn't turning immediately then charge it completely and try it again.
If your phone comes back on, that's great! However, be sure to keep watch over the next few days since sometimes certain functions aren't working as they did previously.
