The Water Eject Siri Shortcut helps remove water from your iPhone’s speakers using sound waves. This guide explains how it works and how to use it effectively.
Understanding the Water Eject Shortcut
This shortcut utilizes sound waves at specific frequencies to vibrate the speaker membrane, dislodging water that may be trapped inside. This functionality is similar to the water ejection feature found on Apple Watch Series 3 and later.

The shortcut plays a series of low-frequency tones that create vibrations in the speaker. These vibrations help to expel water droplets that might be obstructing the speaker’s sound output.
Using the Water Eject Shortcut
Here’s how to use the shortcut:
- Install the Water Eject shortcut from a trusted source.
- Run the shortcut from the Shortcuts app, Siri, or your Home Screen.
- The shortcut will play a series of tones for a short period.
- After the tones finish playing, check your speaker for improved sound quality.
Important Considerations
- Not a Guarantee: While this shortcut can be effective for removing small amounts of water, it’s not a guaranteed solution for all water damage.
- Volume Level: Ensure your iPhone’s volume is turned up to a reasonable level for the shortcut to be effective.
- Repeat if Necessary: If you still notice muffled sound after one run, you can repeat the shortcut a few times.
- Physical Drying: Always wipe down your iPhone with a dry cloth after water exposure, even if you use the Water Eject shortcut. Allow it to air dry thoroughly.
- Seek Professional Help: If your iPhone has been significantly exposed to water or if the sound problems persist, it’s best to seek professional repair.
