Phone dropped in water, won't turn on.

I was at my pool with my cousin as a joke he pushed me into the pool. I had a bathing suit on so I wasnt worried until i realized my phone was in my pocket. It was in the pool for at least 5 minutes. I also have a hole at the top of the phone that exposes the inside.

What should I do? I have many important photos on the phone that it would be bad to lose.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Take is straight to a reputable repair shop that can open it, clear out the remaining liquid and prevent further damage.

The longer it stays in there, the more damage it will create. Rice will do nothing. Faster it is opened and properly cared for, the better chance you have!

I had this problem too, but not of the pool but mine into the sink.. Well, you should get your phone out of water immediately after it dropped down there. Don’t attempt to open or do anything to it. Open the back base of your phone, then use a soft towel to dry some wet spaces. Then close the back base again. Now, put it somewhere with the sun shining, not too sunshine, then leave it for 3-5 days. ( Make sure no one disturbs it ). Then now try opening it, if it doesn’t still work, well you have to go to the repair center to save your phone. Hope this helped.
