The rice ideas aren't very smart. If water entered the phone, no rice could stop the moisture from building up inside. The fix is to immediately turn off the phone and, if possible, disconnect the battery. Then open it up and clean the inside. Water conducts electricity, unless you use distilled water... otherwise, impurities can create connections between electrical points inside the phone, leading to problems over time. Even if you keep the phone submerged in rice, the battery stays connected and can transfer electricity through the chips. Rice absorbs humidity slowly, so it won't solve the issue quickly. Using silica gel packets found in shoes or devices works better—they trap moisture faster. If water somehow entered, cleaning the exposed parts with isopropyl alcohol or wipes would help. If it was a short exposure and you cleaned it promptly, the phone might still be safe. Just don’t rely on cheap rice as a permanent fix—some solutions cost less than a small amount of rice.
This provides a clear understanding for almost every smartphone user.
