We've all been there - you drop your phone down the toilet, instantly
regretting not taking out insurance and thinking of all the times you took
Siri for granted.
Forget the old trick of sticking your phone in a big bowl of (uncooked) rice
overnight - cat litter has been proven to be more effective at reviving your
phone.

e=SAS> reports that, cat litter - specifically, crystal cat litter - is an
effective drying agent because of its silica gel (you know, that stuff that
comes in little packets and says "Do Not Eat" and that we usually throw
away).
They recommend trying to shake all of the excess water out of the phone
first then air-dry, before putting it in a bag of crystal kitty litter for
as long as possible, so leave it in there for a few days.
Placing the phone in a Ziploc bag of the stuff is also helpful.
If your phone isn't working after 48 hours, then it's the end of your phone
as you know it. RIP.
