Did your iPhone take a splash? Now, does the music sound quiet, fuzzy, or just plain weird? A crackling or muffled speaker is the most common sign of water getting inside.
The good news is that you probably don’t need an expensive repair. Your iPhone is built to be water-resistant, but tiny water droplets can still get trapped in the speaker grille and block the sound.
Here’s the simple, step-by-step way to fix it right now.
Step 1: Turn Up the Volume
Go to your iPhone’s settings or use the side buttons to turn the volume all the way up. You need the speaker to be at its loudest for this to work.
Step 2: Go to DryPhoneSpeaker.com
You’re already on our site, so you’re in the right place!
Step 3: Lay Your iPhone Down
Place your iPhone on a flat surface, like a table or desk, with the main speaker at the bottom facing down. This lets gravity help pull the water out.
Step 4: Press the “START” Button
Tap the big START button on our homepage. You will hear a deep buzzing sound coming from your iPhone’s speaker. This is a special sound designed to shake the water out.
Let the sound play for about one minute.
Step 5: Test and Repeat if Needed
After a minute, stop the sound. Now, open your Music app or YouTube and play a song. Does it sound clear and loud again?
If it’s still a little bit muffled, just run our tool one more time. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get every last drop out.
That’s it! You’ve just used the same kind of technology that Apple uses in its own watches to clear out water. You safely cleaned your speaker without having to leave your home.
