How to remove the water from your iPhone speaker
To remove remaining water from the lower speaker of your iPhone 7, you have to open “Sonic” first. Tune up the frequency to around 165 Hz by swiping up or down with your finger on the screen. Tap “Play” to play the tone with this frequency.
If you cannot hear anything, use the Volume button on the side of your iPhone to increase the volume.
You can also change the frequency while it plays by swiping up or down again. It even might be necessary, so that it blows out all the water remains.
While you are playing the tone, there should be some little water bubbles coming out of your speaker. You can just remove them with a paper towel, napkin, or similar.
