Below I've shared some step by step methods that have helped me a few times to save my wet phone from any damage. Every time my phone gets wet, I just start with the step one and keep on moving to the next step one by one until I get my wet phone dry and working.
1. Remove Battery from the Handset
As much as I've known so far, mobile phones manufacturing companies doesn't offer any warranty on wet phones.
If you think, the water had entered into the phone, then simply open back cover of the handset and remove the battery.
After removing the battery, you will find a small sized sticker on the handset which is of white color in most of the phones. If water had entered inside the handset then it will turn into red or pink color and even if there is a little bit moisture inside the handset then sticker will change its color.
This will give you an indication that you need to hurry up for drying up the wet phone.
