Introduction
I’ve been having a problem with the speaker on my iPhone. It’s not working properly and it sounds like it’s underwater or something, but I didn’t drop it in water or anything. I think there might be some moisture inside the speaker, but how do I fix that?
Turn off your phone and remove the battery, if possible.

Use a dry, absorbent cloth to wipe off as much of the moisture as you can.
You can use a dry, absorbent cloth to wipe off as much of the moisture as you can. If there is any visible water, you should not be able to see through it.
The cloth should be soft and absorbent. You should avoid using paper towels which are hard, abrasive, and will damage your phone’s speaker cone.
You also don’t want a cloth that is too wet this can reintroduce additional moisture into your speaker.
Put the phone in a bowl of uncooked rice overnight.
If your phone has a small amount of water inside it, put the phone in a bowl of uncooked rice overnight. The rice should be larger than your phone to ensure that it’s completely submerged. Place the bowl in a plastic bag and seal it tightly to prevent water from leaking out. Leave the bowl undisturbed for at least 24 hours. This will absorb any remaining moisture and dry out your device!
Take out the phone and wipe it gently with a cloth.
The first thing you should do is take your phone out of the speaker and wipe it off gently with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use any liquids or hair dryers on your phone—these can damage its electrical components.
If you have access to a vacuum cleaner, it may help to remove some of the water if there’s still some in there; however, be aware that vacuuming could push some of the water further into places where it shouldn’t go. This can damage your phone’s circuitry or battery and also make things worse for yourself later on when trying to clean up after removing more liquid from inside your device!
A heating pad will also work in getting rid of excess moisture from within an electronic device that has gotten wet; however, this method is only recommended if it has been used previously without causing harm or malfunctioning due to heat exposure (this includes freezing!).
If you do not see anything that looks like liquid, try listening to music through the speaker.
If you do not see anything that looks like liquid, try listening to music through the speaker. If you still hear water, there is still water inside of your phone. If you do not hear any water, then your phone’s speaker has dried out and will work normally again!
You can now use your phone as normal.
If there is remaining water in the speaker, try playing music and holding the speaker close to your ear.
If there is remaining water in the speaker, try playing music and holding the speaker close to your ear. If you can hear any signs of water inside your phone’s speaker, then it needs to be replaced.
If a replacement is not available for your make and model smartphone, do not worry! You can use this guide to replace common parts such as the microphone or buttons on most smartphones.

Let them know if you have a warranty.
Let them know if you want to pay for the repair, or get a new one from there and then return it when your phone is fixed (if possible).
Visit a repair shop.
If you are not sure what to do, take it to a repair shop. If you’re not sure if the speaker is damaged and need to know whether or not taking the phone apart is going to damage it further, take it to a repair shop. If there’s an open wound on your finger and you can’t stop yourself from picking at it while you read this article, take yourself directly to an emergency room.

If you’re able to, turn off the phone and remove the battery (if possible), then wipe off as much moisture as you can with a dry, absorbent cloth. If this isn’t an option, don’t worry—there are still things you can do.
- Put your phone in a bowl of uncooked rice overnight or until most of the moisture is gone from inside it.* If possible and if necessary for drying out completely, place it in front of an electric fan for several hours.* Do NOT use heaters or hair dryers; they could cause more damage than good!
How to fix my speaker in Mobile iOS
- Turn off your iPhone, then remove the back cover by prying it off with a plastic opening tool or a flathead screwdriver.
- Remove the battery and place it in a bowl of uncooked rice overnight to absorb any moisture inside before reinstalling it and reassembling your iPhone.
- Let your phone sit for at least 24 hours before attempting to turn it on again to ensure that all of the water has evaporated from its internal components and no damage has been done by excess moisture being trapped inside of them
7 Tricks to fix speaker in Mobile iOS
Now that you know the issues involved and what to look for when your phone speaker is waterlogged, let’s check out some tricks to fix it yourself.
- Turn off your device and let it sit for a while. Whether this is overnight or just an hour, this will give some time for any remaining moisture inside of your phone to evaporate on its own.
- Use a can of compressed air (or an actual vacuum) to remove any excess water left in its speaker holes or around its ports – this includes the charging port as well! Just be careful not to let too much air pressure build up inside of your device as that can cause permanent damage as well!
- If none of these methods have worked yet, wait another 24 hours before trying anything else; sometimes letting technology “breathe” helps resolve issues like these entirely on their own without having to do any work whatsoever! However if after 24 hours there still hasn’t been any improvement then…
Trick 1) Check for Software Issues
- First, you’ll want to check for software issues. If it’s a hardware problem, it won’t matter how much water damage you’ve got—your phone will still be dead. But if the issue is strictly software-related, then drying out your smartphone may be enough to get things working again.
The first step in figuring out if this fix will work for you is finding out what kind of operating system (OS) your phone uses: Apple users can use this guide; Android users should follow this one. Once you know which OS your device has installed on it, look up some troubleshooting guides specific to that OS on Google or Bing and try those steps before moving on to the next step below!
Trick 2) Manually Disable Headphone Output
If you aren’t planning on listening to music through your headphones, you can disable the headphone output by following these steps:
- Turn off airplane mode in Settings.
- Go to Settings > Airplane mode > Off
- If this doesn’t immediately fix your problem, go into Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. This will restart all network connections and settings on your iPhone, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
- Turn off Bluetooth if it is turned on.
- Turn on the Wi-Fi setting if it isn’t already enabled (if you’re using a cellular phone).
Trick 4) Clean the Speaker Grills
- Clean the speaker grills
If you have a Samsung phone, chances are that your device has two grills on the top and bottom of its screen. The bottom grill is where all of the sounds comes from when you’re playing music or watching videos, so it’s important to make sure this area is clean and free of dust and debris so that nothing gets in between the microphone and speakers, causing distortion on your end.
To clean out these areas:
- Use a cotton swab or toothpick (or both) to gently push out any dirt or gunk that may be sticking around inside the holes. This method should work especially well for iPhones because they don’t have as many openings in their designs as other phones; however, if you still find yourself struggling with getting rid of stubborn dirt in this spot, try using an alcohol wipe instead!
Conclusion
Remember, these tricks are for the sake of entertainment and do not work in every situation. So if you feel like your speaker has water inside it, please contact a professional before attempting to fix it yourself!
