No insurance on it either

Newer high-end mobiles (Samsungs and iPhones) have a reasonable level of waterproofing. They'll usually survive a quick dunk if you fish 'em out quickly enough. If it was me, I'd power it off, open it up as best you can and run a fan through it overnight, just to be sure.

Are you sure you’re talking about rescuing a phone?

Was only in for 1.748 seconds.... got it out and shook it dry.... seems to be quite waterproof as all working fine and not a hint of any water in it

I never take my phone into the bathroom, I can live without it for a few minutes.

I'd still turn it off and stick it in some rice to be sure. My old phone survived a swim in the toilet. Only the camera went a bit fuzzy.

When I did it I put mine in rice overnight. It seemed fine but about 3 days later it started saying "warning moisture detected" every time I plugged it in to charge. Luckily I had insurance. The guy in the shop told me you need to really thoroughly dry them out, take them apart and put them on a warm radiator. Apparently the rice thing is a myth.

I sat mine on a radiator for a bit, in a bag of rice and I think I got away with it. My previous phone didnt survive a dunk but it was already cracked. This was puddle water too.

I don't carry my phone round with me. I leave it on the table and check it periodically.
