I was putting my hand in my pocket to take my phone out when my phone slipped and fell into the toilet I was so scared my heart skipped a beat I quickly pulled it out and dried it and. Was glad to. See it still working so relieved but so front camera is foggy :( when I use the front camera it comes out not blurry but foggy but back camera is fine

Yikes! I think that's everyone's worst fear!!!

Glad it's mostly working! Hopefully the front camera dries out and ends up fine.

Hopefully that will never happen again but if it does, dry the phone to the best of your ability then put it in a bowl of uncooked rice. Make sure the rice covers the phone completely and leave it there overnight. It will dry it out better than any other technique you can use.

I have device protection from my carrier which I pay 7$ a month and it covers water damage so my carrier is sending me a black edge 128gb phone but my white edge seems to have dried up and fixed should I just wet it more so I can keep the 128gb edge

There's dried toilet water in there. You shouldn't have to dunk it again. I"ll bet the water indicators on the inside were triggered. Just take your 128 gb replacement. And keep that one out of the toilet!😋

Yup, just take that small step from accident to fraud. smh
