Airpod dropped in water

So I had dropped one AirPod (2nd generation) in the toilet while cleaning and had to fish it out and immediately I placed it face down on a napkin. I then left it there for roughly 2 hours or so check on them and the volume was extremely low. Then proceeded to wait another hour and they still were low. So I hope they would get better through the day and they didn’t, so then I played a water removal sound for about 4 hours and nothing ever came out. Are there any solutions to this problem with out going to the actual Apple Store?

Hey Rodney Lampkin,


If your AirPod(s) have fallen into water, you should dry your Airpods immediately, as you already did. If there is still water in your AirPods and then you charge them, they can be damaged and become very hot. To be sure, it's best to visit an Apple store. You can refer to the articles below:

Please note that this problem falls under water damage, and this is not covered by Apple's 1-year warranty!


Hopefully my answer was helpfully,

Enjoy your day!
