Water and phones don’t mix. We’ve all been there – careless splashes or drops in the water, and your phone is compromised. Water damage is a real concern, especially during water-heavy festivals like Songkran.
When water seeps into your phone, it can cause serious damage, including corrosion and electrical issues. The speakers are particularly vulnerable. If you act quickly, you can minimize the damage. Here’s what you can do:
Removing Water from iPhone Speakers
For iPhone users, there’s a built-in feature called “Water Eject”. It’s a shortcut that uses sound waves to remove water from the speakers.
To use it, follow these steps:
- Open the “Water Eject” shortcut
- Tap “Begin Water Ejection” to start the process
- Let the shortcut do its magic
If you don’t have this shortcut, you can download it from the iCloud link: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e04b524fe2e048de953569c2712734fe
Another option is to download the Sonic app. It uses a specific frequency (165 Hz) to create sound waves that can dislodge water from the speakers. This feature is similar to the water-ejecting feature found in the Apple Watch Series 2. Users have reported positive results with this app.
Removing Water from Android Speakers
For Android users, there are a few options to remove water from the speakers. One is to download the “Frequency Generator” app.
Here’s how to use it:
- Open the app
- Adjust the frequency to 160-200 Hz
- Turn up the volume to start the process
Alternatively, you can use the Online Tone Generator website.
To use it:
- Visit the website: https://onlinetonegenerator.com/
- Adjust the frequency to 160-200 Hz
- Click “Play” to start the sound
By using these methods, you can remove water from your phone’s speakers and prevent further damage. So go ahead, enjoy the water festivities, and don’t worry about your phone getting wet.
