Can a cellphone that has been in water be charged?
Charging a cellphone that has been in water is not recommended and is dangerous. Doing this may cause permanent damage to the device or even pose a risk of fire or electric shock. Below are the steps you should follow if your cellphone gets water.
1. Turn off your cellphone.
Immediately turn off the cellphone if it is not already turned off. This is to prevent electrical short circuits which can damage internal components.
2. Dry the outside.
Use a cloth or tissue to dry the outside of the cellphone. Avoid shaking the cellphone because it can cause water to enter deeper into the device.
3. Remove any removable components.
If possible, remove the battery (if your cellphone has a removable battery), SIM card, and memory card.

Don't try to charge your cellphone until you are sure that it is completely dry inside and out. Charging a wet cellphone can cause a short circuit and further damage.
