I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet, and since the nearest repair center only opens on Tuesday, I'm wondering if it's worth the cost to get it dried out inside. Should I wait or do something else?

If you can look up whether your phone is IP64, IP67, or IP68 certified, it helps! Generally, if it's rated IP67 or IP68, you should be fine with just letting it dry.
Did your phone stay on after it fell in? That can make a big difference. If it was off, it might have a better chance of surviving without any serious issues.
Most modern smartphones are quite water-resistant, but it really depends on your specific model. If you have an iPhone, you might not need to worry too much. Check out Apple's support page for details on water resistance, especially for models from the XS and after. It’s likely that your phone might be okay as long as it wasn’t on when it fell in!
Yeah, definitely check if your phone is IP67 or IP68 rated. If it is, just drying it off should be enough!
Right, turning off your phone when it’s wet is super important. That can help prevent short-circuits.
