What to Do About Water Damage on My iPhone XR?
Asked by

I accidentally put my iPhone XR in the washing machine for about an hour. While the phone seems to be functioning fine—with a responsive touchscreen and working Face ID—there are these purple spots on the edges of the screen that I'm really worried about. I turned my phone off and am letting it dry now, but I'm curious if those purple spots will disappear as the water evaporates. What should I do?

If you're concerned about backing up your data without short-circuiting, it’s understandable! I suggest using iCloud if you have that set up, or you can try getting a professional to check it out first before attempting to plug it in.

Unfortunately, those purple spots are unlikely to fade away. It's really important to back up your data right now, especially before your phone stops working altogether.
