Iphone got wet, what do I do?

It started pouring down rain at our track practice today and my iphone got soaked. I think I did everything wrong because I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on (and I was now just informed this is very bad). Someone on my floor told me to blowdry it so I did that on the low setting but I'm worried that just made it worse. It is now sitting in some uncooked rice but I'm just wondering how long until I should check to see if it works? If I'm not supposed to turn it on how am I supposed to know if it's working? Any help?

Put it in the midst of a bunch of rice.take the battery out and put it in there too (if you can).

I predict you will get ten answers advising putting phone in covered in dry rice over night.

Leave it in the rice for 24 hours

it probably gonna lag, but work

how long was it in the rain?

Sleep with it clenched between your buttcheeks

Well first of all, you definitely shouldn't try turning it on. Also, something my dad did was when I dropped my Android into my cereal one morning (don't ask… ) was he took it apart, and used a can of compressed air (like the can of air used to blow dust out of computer monitors in order to get them to run more efficiently) and he blew all the milk out of the cracks and other areas of my phone that had gotten wet. He used the compressed can of air because the can itself had this special nozzle (that was thin, and straw-like) in order to get into small cracks and hard places around the phone. He also told me not to used it for an entire day after he was done getting the milk out. The next day, it worked perfectly.
Hope this helps!
