Forget rice! If your phone ever gets water damage, try this genius hack instead.

While most phones are water-resistant these days, if water gets in your charging port, it won't charge. So, what should you do?

Use a desiccant! Desiccants are those little packets you find in vitamin bottles, shoeboxes, etc that say "do not eat" on them.

Put your phone in a Ziploc bag with a desiccant down by the charging port and it'll dry right up!
