As an iPhone user, you might have experienced the frustrating moment when your phone gets wet, and you have to wait for hours before it dries out. Fortunately, with the latest iOS update, you can now add a water eject shortcut on your iPhone to quickly and safely remove water from your device. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adding this shortcut on your iPhone, ensuring that you can safely and effectively remove water from your phone.
