While iPhones and iPads have been water resistant for several years, if it gets wet, it is best to squeeze water out of the headphones and microphone to make them work properly again.
If it is found that they do not work well, there is a very simple way to remove water from an iPhone and even, from an iPad and even better, it can be done through a completely free application that is available on the App Store.
Best of all, all the water can be removed from the microphone, charging slot or earphone in less than a minute and its operation is done at the push of a button. Of course you have to configure it, although it is very fast and will finally solve the problem immediately.
This is how you can expel water from your iPhone or iPad
As mentioned above, all you need is an application called Water Eject, the Shortcuts app for iPhone and iPad, and as usual in these cases, an Internet connection and the latest update of iOS or iPadOS on your Apple device.
All that is needed now to expel water from an iPhone or iPad is to follow these simple steps (the steps are the same for both devices):
- At first, unlock your iPhone or iPad and choose the Shortcuts app.
- Now, in the upper right corner, choose the+icon to add a new shortcut.
- Right now, click here to download and install Water Eject Shortcut.
- Click on the Get Shortcut button.
- Water Eject will be downloaded to the Shortcuts app on your Apple device. Click Add shortcut.
- In the final part, you can already successfully start the ejection of water.
- Excellent! The water that has entered the microphones of the cell phone has been removed.
If everything goes well, the sound icon on the left side will be briefly visible and the mobile phone will start to emit a slight vibration. Depending on the time, a message will be received for the user to connect to a website. Just ignore this option.
Once the process is complete, it will now be easier to remove the remaining water inside an iPhone or iPad, and everything should work properly again.
Even better, if the process is a bit long for you and you don't want to access the Shortcuts app, you can ask Siri to do so by saying, “Hey, Siri, let's start Water Eject.”
How to erase all the contents of the iPhone after 10 failed attempts on the password
The ability to erase all mobile data after 10 failed password attempts is hidden in the phone settings.
While the possibility of this data loss may seem frightening, it is highly unlikely that a partner or child will accidentally delete all data.
The reason is that after the fifth failed password attempt, iOS requires a 1 minute timeout before it can try to enter the password again. After the sixth attempt, a timeout of 5 minutes will be obtained. After the seventh, 15 minutes, etc.
This means that it would take more than 3 hours for someone to enter 10 incorrect passwords. Next, Infobae explains how to enable this setting.
- Play Settings.
- Scroll to Touch ID and Password.
- Enter the iPhone password.
- Change the 'Clear data' setting to On, and you're done. This is it.
