How long do I need to leave my Iphone in rice after it got wet?

So I dropped my Iphone in the toilet. It was only in there for about 8 secs. I told my friend and she tried turning it on and it showed the apple thing and then it shut off and wouldn't turn on. We were gone so I couldn't get home and put it in rice. I put it front of a fan till we got home, then we tried plugging it in and nothing happened. I didn't get it in rice till 4 hours after it got wet. Did I forever ruin my phone? Its been in the rice for 21 hours now. Will leaving it in rice work?

Sometimes it does work for me it worked,

  • Water logged iphone? How long do I leave it in rice? My iphone SE was sitting in a big puddle on the counter for about 15 min before I noticed. The phone was still in working condition but had a few dark and blurry spots on the screen. I went to get rice and the spots seemed to have spread. I put rice in a ziplock bag and completely covered my phone in the rice. The bag was sealed and I'm wondering how long I need to leave the phone inside? I need to use my phone the next day and I'm not sure if it will be alright.
  • My iPhone 4s got wet, and it has been in rice for 2 days now, It won't turn on? Like I said it has been in rice for 2 days now, the lock button was broken before it got wet, so it won't turn on, even if it is plugged in the charger. What do I do? How can I get it to work again?
  • How long should I leave my wet iphone in rice? I was pouring milk into my cereal bowl this morning, and the milk container ended up pouring all on my iphone 4S. When it got wet, it wasn't completely soaked, but it's not like it was just a splash of milk either. I think the milk managed to get in some of the cracks. I really don't think it is as bad as an iphone being dropped in water completely, so I'm thinking that I don't need to keep it in rice for as long. How long should I keep it in the rice?
  • How long should I leave my wet iphone in rice? - 1 It only had a little water on it, maybe a 1/8th of a cup. I dried it off as fast as I could, and turned it off. I got my brother to take it apart, and dry some of the main parts. The back is still off of it, and both of them are sitting in the rice. Since it wasn't dropped in water, and its apart in rice, how long should i leave it?
