I dropped my iphone in the toilet bowl?

I dropped my iphone in the toilet but the top half wasn't submerged, only the bottom half. It was in there for about 10 seconds until i pulled it out right away and put it on a towel… The screen seemed to be working okay and then it went black… I went to the store and brought rice and put it in the rice a half hour later… I don't know if i turned my phone off correctly… What do i do?

Try putting it in the microwave for 25 seconds on a medium heat. It will force the moisture to evaporate out of the phone and the heat will only focus on the water. If you leave it to long it can start to get hot. You can actually leave it for up to a minute but it works if you leave it for 25 seconds. It worked for my iPhone and my friends. The sooner you do it the better.

DO NOT TAKE IT OUT OF THE RICE FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK! YOU NEED TO LET IT DRY COMPLETELY! STARTING IT BACK UP TOO EARLY WIL FRY THE SYSTEM! AND DON'T WORRY, YOUR PHONE WENT INTO SAFETY MODE OR SOME S***, ITS TURNED OFF!

YOU HEAR ME! DON'T EVEN TOUCG IT FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR IPHONE!

When phones get soaked, it's the combination of water (which is conductive unless it is absolutely pure), and electricity from the battery that causes any wet internal circuitry to self destruct by electrochemical reaction. The first thing to do when a device gets dunked is to remove the battery if at all possible. Don't attempt to turn it on until everything inside has had plenty of time to completely dry out. You don't want to cause permanent damage to parts of the circuit that may still be wet by sending power to them.

It can often take a week or more if water is trapped under surface mounted circuit board parts unless you take things completely apart.

Forget the "rice advice" you may have heard. That dangerous myth was probably started by someone in the business of selling replacement phones. It is often repeated by those who don't know why it's a really dumb idea, especially if the battery isn't designed to be easily removed. While rice is a mild desiccant and will absorb small amounts of moisture from the air when transferred from a dry to a more humid location, it has absolutely no magical qualities that will quickly suck water out of a phone. A warm location - not the microwave - and a little air flow will be many times more effective. Since your goal is to get everything dry in a reasonable amount of time, it's counterproductive to reduce the air flow to nearly zero and artificially create a humid location by placing everything in a bowl or plastic bag. Besides, you don't really care where the moisture goes once it has evaporated from your phone.
