Dropped phone in water

I dropped my iPhone 14 Pro Max in the tub but it didn’t fully submerge in the water now it just keeps turning on and off what do I do ?

Turn it off and put it in a warm (not hot) location for 2 or 3 days without turning it on or plugging it in. Then see if it works. Do not put it in rice, if you see suggestions to do that. It may recover, but if it doesn’t make a genius bar appointment to explore repair options→Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
