Firstly, do not try to use it. You have to take it out the water immediately to avoid further damage, turn the power off, remove the SIM card, and if possible, the battery, pat it dry with a towel. Give it a gentle shake, too, to remove any water from its ports. Make sure to plug you plug a charger and headset to the phone before you put it in a bowl or plastic filled with uncooked rice. Now forget about your phone for 24 to 48 hours depending on the severity of the damage. Only when the time is up should you reassemble your now hopefully dry device and attempt to switch it on. If it doesn’t work, stick it back in the rice and try again the following day. On the third or fourth unsuccessful attempt, going to the nearest repair center or designated warranty shops might help you assess further if there is something they can do to save your phone or if the damage is irreversible, leaving you no choice but to buy a new phone.
