Your phone’s speaker is probably clogged with water right now—this video will fix it

Water in a phone speaker is one of those problems that’s easy to miss until the audio sounds wrong, and you can’t figure out why. Sometimes it happens after a swim or a rain catches you off guard, but it can also build up slowly from humidity or a splash you barely notice. The instinct is usually to shake the phone, let it dry out, or stick it in rice, but none of those actually work on water, physically wedged into the speaker mesh.
