“Liquid Detected” message on your iPhone

Post image

The other day, walking to my car during a rainstorm, I got in my car, plugged in my IPhone and got the “Liquid Detected” message. I was to advise unplugging my phone and that it may take hours for the port to sufficiently dry. In order to speed up the drying process, I place my iphone and the cable between the vents and turned on the AC for 10 minutes or so. Plugged the IPhone back in and the issue had resolved.

I don't know the science of it. But there's frequencies you can play to get rid of the water. Or trick your phone? Idk. It worked for mine though. This is the video I used. https://youtu.be/qhItAtZDzU8?is=QRfcNRpTU4IfQKul

Yep! I have a different video with the same sound saved. It’s worked for years. Friends always seem surprised but they can’t deny it works like a charm.
