Dropped my iPhone in the pool

I shook the water out of it and I kept it in rice for 24 hours. I charged it and when it turns on, the touch screen won't work. Plus the light is too low:/

48 hours for iphone. Not 24hours.don't worry. You phone still ok.

Depends on what you mean by pool. Dropping it in a swimming pool should not necessarily be a problem as there are few electrolytes in the water that could cause short circuits after you have dried out the phone. I dried out cameras and phones after a visit to Niagara with no problem. Just be patient. If you have a radiator or mild source of heat, put the phone close to it to speed up the rate of drying.

If you dropped it into a natural pool, then you may have more problems. Electrolyte and organic levels will be high and could cause short circuits. Nothing you can do, I'm afraid, other than hope for the best.

Turn it off and turn it back on.

  • My iphone 4s dropped in the pool what should I do? My iphone dropped in the pool 2 nights ago and I immediately put it in rice… It has been in rice for a little over 24 hrs but is still not working, what should I do?
  • My Iphone 4 fell in a pool but not just a normal pool? It fell off my pocket and stayed at the bottom of the pool which was filled with sea water for 10 minutes, is there even 1% chance of it beeing fixed?

  • IPhone 4 was dropped in my pool? I got it out and didn't think to turn it off. I had music playing and it stopped. I dried it off and it's been in a bowl of rice since 5. My back camera has water droplets inside the camera (it looks foggy) and my flash won't shut off. My phone was on 75% when I dropped it. It's been 5 and a half hours. Shouldn't the battery have died already? Will my phone ever work again? And how long should I keep my phone in the rice?
