iPhone 6S Plus will not charge after being exposed to rain

I was at a music festival this weekend and it started raining. My phone wasn't exposed to the rain for long, but once I got back indoors, it started to not charge. The flashing battery will come on, and it has powered on a few times since then, but it doesn't stay on for long. Any hopes for saving it?

Hello, Michael is right.

Please do not try to charge it for the moment. If water, or just humidity was inside, it will probably create a short-circuit.

What you should do is, I suppose, let your iPhone get some rest for a few hours to a day, and even more if you can.

So that the humidity evacuates.


In case you've short-circuited it, send it for repair would be a great option.
