How do I drain water out of my phone?
I dropped it in the shower. Now the screen wont work. I can see when people text me but I can't respond. I put it in rice but it is not working. Please help me

It is damaged beyond repair. Get an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store.
So I have to get a new phone?
Unfortunately, yes. A phone is water resistant to splashes only, it is not waterproof. Just having it in a shower should not have been done.
It just fell it wasnt in there for but 2 seconds

Which is more than enough time to do permanent damage to a delicate electronic device.
But it barley got water on it
Water and electronics done mix well with water no mater how brief.
I'm screwed!
So the phone it completely ruined?
Most likely yes. You can get an appointment at an Apple Store for an evaluation and they will tell you your options.
Yep.
Damaged beyond repair. Apple will not attempt any repairs and the device must be replaced.
i have left my phone in rice for about an hour now and it's starting to work again
Until water inside damages the electronics and it ultimately quits altogether. Before your phone dies, make sure you back it up while you can.
It will not work much longer. Back it up before it dies again for good.
idk i think it might keep working now
