My phone got some splash water. Unfortunately some water drops landed in the usb charging port. The phone gave me the error message that it detected moisture and i should dry it.

At some point the phone died because of low battery. I did not have charged it yet because of the concernings that the water and charging could damage the phone.

UPDATE: i used paper towels and let it dry overnight. I charged and there was no warnings.

    If it was a few drops of water, using the corner of a paper towel to get into the port and leaving it near a fan or something should dry it fairly quickly.

    I’d also recommend using silica gel/desiccant instead of using rice for drying electronics as rice will do jack shit.
