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.
