My iPhone got wet and I dried it it won’t charge it charged up once it died again now it won’t even show me the battery icon is it broken or can it be fixed how do I fix it because it won’t turn on or charge anymore is that because of the water damage?
If your iPhone got wet, don't charge it anymore, visit an Authorised Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place and let them check the iPhone.
However, in most cases water damage can not be repaired and the device will have to be replaced.

Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop to let them take a look.
Unfortunately, in all likelihood, the phone is going to be a total loss, because Apple will not attempt repairs on a phone with water damage.
