What to Do If Your AirPod Falls in Water
Act Quickly
If your AirPod falls in water, it’s crucial to act swiftly. The longer it remains submerged, the greater the risk of damage.
Remove from Water
Retrieve the AirPod from the water as soon as possible. Handling it gently can prevent further damage.
Drying the AirPod
Use a soft, absorbent cloth to dry the AirPod thoroughly. Avoid using heat, as excessive heat can further damage the device.
Rice Method
Placing the AirPod in a container of uncooked rice can help to absorb moisture. Leave it in the rice for at least 24 hours.
Patience and Testing
After the drying process, refrain from using the AirPod immediately. Instead, allow it to dry naturally for an additional day. Test the AirPod to see if it functions properly before use.
