Water in iPhone Speaker: What to Do First

Practical steps when an iPhone speaker sounds muffled after water exposure.

Short answer

If the iPhone speaker still plays sound, a careful browser frequency can help move water near the grille. This is not an official Apple feature and not a repair guarantee.

Safe process

Remove the case, point the speaker down, run a short sequence, then test normal audio. Do not charge after serious liquid exposure.

Limits

Get the phone inspected if there is salt water, heat, a silent speaker, or abnormal behavior.

Quick answers

Is this the same as Water Eject?

It uses a similar vibration idea through the speaker, but it is not an official system feature.

Can I use headphones?

No. These tones are meant for the phone speaker, not headphones.
