YouTube Videos Can Partially Remove Water from Smartphones
Tests reveal that viral YouTube videos can help expel water from phone speakers, but are not a complete solution for water damage.
- A viral YouTube video claims to remove water from phone speakers using sound vibrations.
- Tests conducted by The Verge and iFixit show the method works to an extent, primarily expelling water from speaker areas.
- The method is less effective for other parts of the phone, such as the USB port, SIM slot, and buttons.
- Experts advise against relying solely on these videos and recommend avoiding water exposure to phones.
- Modern smartphones have varying degrees of water resistance, which can degrade over time.
