I dropped my iPhone 12 in my dog's water bowl for about 4 seconds. I immediately took it out, powered it off patted it dry with a towel, and stuck it in a box of rice.

Everywhere I've looked had different answers do what I did, plop it in front of a fan, let it just air dry and one even said remove the battwry.

Will what I've done work or am I just fucked?

EDIT: took it out of rice and popped a packet of silica gel under the charging port. Thanks everyone for the advice.

I straight up walked into a pool with mine. It’s fine they’ve come a long way since the beginning of smart phones
