While on one hand, the arrival of monsoon brings some relief from the heat, on the other hand, it is also common for people who go out of the house for important work to get their phones wet in the rain. Today, we will tell you how rainwater can harm you and your phone, and what preparations you can make in advance to avoid it.

Avoid charging with wet hands.

Water and electricity are a deadly combination. To explain in simple language, if the hands or the charging port are wet, then do not make the mistake of connecting the smartphone to the charger, even by mistake. By doing this, not only can your phone get damaged, but you can also get an electric shock due to a short circuit, and sometimes it can be fatal.

Do this immediately if the phone gets wet.

If your phone gets wet, you should immediately turn off the phone and avoid using a hair dryer to dry the phone (many users make the mistake of drying the phone immediately). Instead of using a hair dryer, wipe it with a dry cloth. Keep the phone in uncooked rice for 24-48 hours.

How to talk in the rain?

If rainwater enters the earpiece or mic, even a water-resistant phone can get damaged. Use wired earphones or Bluetooth buds to make calls safely.

Do these important things to avoid it

The chances of your phone getting damaged increase during the rainy season, so save contacts, WhatsApp chats, photos and important documents on Google Drive or cloud storage in advance so that your data is not lost.
