My iPhone 5s got wet but it still working. But the touch screen is a bit slow. Is it safe to use?

I dropped my phone in water but pulled it out immediately. I powered it down, dried it off, and let it sit for 30 or so minutes. At first the screen was red but then turned on and everything works. The touch sometimes is unresponsive. Is it safe to use my phone? I'm letting it air dry by a window because rice can cause erosion… Should I use it?

I would put it in rice. I know someone who had the same thing happen to them and they put it in rice and it was completely fine. I think that you should try to get as much water out as possible before trying to use it. Try the rice. If it does not work then you can try to air dry it. I think the rice will work though.

  • What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit in the iPhone 5S? I was wondering what is 64 bit and why does it matter on an iPhone? What makes it different than the iPhone 5 or any other smartphone right now, and should we really care?
  • Need an advice! My iphone got wet but still works fine? I spilled my water bottle on my backpack about 2 hours. I just noticed it when I opened my backpack and I saw my iphone 4s got wet, it wasn't submerged it's just wet. It still works fine, quickly I turned it off and haven't yet checked anything because I was shocked. Now that I got home I put it on a bag of rice. What to do after this? How long should I put this? I'm afraid if I turn it on before the phone completely dries it will get a problem.
  • My iphone 4 got wet but is still warm/hot and won't turn on what do i do? My brother dropped it in the toilet and i don't know how long i was in there i don't know how to get my battery out but it is very weird cause it is still warm and kinda hot
  • Little bit water got into my iPhone 6s speaker and the sound isn't working? My phone was in my bra as water got thrown at me by little kids, and i took out my phone and the screen was wet so i wiped off the water and it was fine, however the volume does not work. When i insert headphones the volume does work but i need to volume to work. I put my phone in rice and am hoping for the best… HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM?
