Just when you think you have seen enough with technology, a new invention comes out to expand one’s limitations to science and innovation.
Are you the type that clings to your iPhone even in the bathtub or by the kitchen sink and has experienced the fair share of your iPhone falling into the pool of water repeatedly? I bet I'm not alone on this one.
While we will talk about phone addiction and its effects later, how about I share with you how I get rid of those unrepentant droplets of water that refuse to leave your phone speakers even after you have cleaned and inserted your iPhone into a bowl of rice?
I know it can be tough trying to listen to audio from your iPhone and all you hear is something close to a vocoder... quite worrisome.
In this post, I will guide you on how to remove droplets of water from your iPhone speakers and how to get your music thumping from your speakers as it ought to, but first I need you to know that The Watchtower, a leading name in the business of web design and development in Dubai, has made this platform possible for me to share with you this phone hack.
Are all iPhones' series water resistant?
I feel a special need to clear this out first before we proceed. Not all iPhone series are designed to be water resistant as most people would term it.
Users of older iPhone models than the iPhone 7 series should please note that their phones are not water resistant.
The iPhone models that come with water-resistance protection are usually from the iPhone 7 series, which are IP67-rated under IEC standard 60529 for a maximum depth of one meter for up to 30 minutes, while the newer versions have IP68 ratings with a max depth of up to six meters for up to 30 minutes, depending on the model.
How to get water out of your iPhone speakers using an app.
While several software applications have flooded the app store with the service of removing water from your phone speakers, most of them come with a subscription fee.
Even though these apps might work, unless you are a scuba diver, lifebuoy, or a professional surfer, the chances of you having water in your speakers every time you drain away is slim. What I recommend as an alternative, and something that serves its purpose, is the “Sonic app”.

What must I consider before water can be removed from my iPhone?
Every iPhone user should first bear in mind the series of their phone, as this serves as the first qualifier. If this is known to the user, below are the next steps to getting water out of your iPhone.
How do you go about the use of the Sonic app?
1. Ensure that your phone is compatible.
Compatibility is a golden term when it comes to playing for draining water out of a mobile phone, especially when this is limited to IP68 alone.
While the conventional method of vertically positioning the phone on a lint-free cloth would gradually drain the water, it is observed that the use of the Sonic app speeds up the process more than ever imagined.
2. Install the app.
Well, to get water out of your phone speakers, simply start by downloading the Sonic application.
The Sonic app is on the App Store with a circled letter V, which has been updated for iOS 14 and still works on iOS 15. The Sonic app runs on any iPhone running iOS 13 and later, as well as any iPad running iOS 13 and later.
Once the app is up and running on your device, we can start with the actions to take.
3. Get the water out of your device.
The next step is to get the water out of the device. It is important to note that the Sonic app forces water out of the speaker enclosures using low frequencies.
The Apple Watch's Water Lock feature uses a "series of tones" to clear water out of the device, but Apple doesn't specify what low-frequency sound waves are in use.
With the right frequency from the options, tap the water drop icon and watch as water trickles down your speaker grilles.
In conclusion, you don’t need to put your phone that fell into the water into a bag of rice to drain the water. With the Sonic app, and the right frequency, you will have the water stuck in the speaker grilles out in no time.
