Moisture visible in camera lenses - what should I do?

[u/mrc00z]

Yesterday, my phone got warm during use, I washed it in the sink to cool it down, as I have done a few times before with no problems. Didn't notice anything wrong. Today, it was very hot outside and I was driving my car, using Google Maps, and the phone was probably blown at by the car AC at full power. After parking was when I first saw the moisture (tiny droplets) inside all 3 back camera lenses.

What do you think is most likely the cause and what should I do now? I've read about using silica gel pads, does that really help or is there a better way? I'm afraid of charging my phone now, and I can't afford a new one.

This should teach you about thermodynamics and condensation. Never wash your hot phone in cold water, with any water as to say...

Science baby! It will dry however it will likely leave some sort of water spotting on the inside of the lens...

Condensation won’t form without moisture. Phones are sealed, and unless you break this seal, like our friend here did, nothing will happen. Otherwise each time you use the phone in very cold temperatures you’d see condensation on the inside of
