I have a Pixel 8 running Android 16 QPR2 Beta 3.1 and I accidentally got water in my charging port. What are the best ways to remove the water and prevent further issues?

If you're in a hurry, using a hair dryer for short bursts (about 2 minutes at a time) can help, but let it cool down between sessions. Alternatively, just wipe it down and use wireless charging until it dries out completely.
Air drying is a solid option. If you don’t want to wait, heat a towel and gently apply it to the charging port. Just don’t get it too hot to avoid damaging anything!
Hey everyone! I tried your suggestions and it actually worked! Thanks a bunch for the help!
First, try to shake the phone gently to get the excess water out. If you have silica gel packets, placing your phone in a sealed container with them can help absorb the moisture. It's a classic trick that works!
If you have a hair dryer, you can also use it on a low setting, but be careful not to overheat it. Aim it at the charging port from a safe distance!
