Water in your speaker? Open the app, press once, and Clear Speaker pushes it out with a tuned low-frequency tone - then listens with the microphone and keeps repeating until your speaker actually sounds clear again. No guessing, no counting seconds. No ads. No paywall. Nothing ever blocks the eject button. Every feature below is free, and the app never interrupts you while your phone is wet. WHY EJECT SOMETIMES "DOESN'T WORK" Most of the time it is not the tone - it is the setup. Before every cycle, Clear Speaker runs a preflight check and tells you if: - your volume is turned down - your audio is routed to AirPods, a car, or a Bluetooth speaker Fix it in one tap and start. This single check is the difference between water coming out and nothing happening. WHAT IT CLEARS - iPhone speaker after rain, a pool, a sink, or a spill - AirPods and earbuds - left, right, or alternating so each bud gets its own cycle - Charging port - a dedicated drying mode for a wet Lightning or USB-C port MEASURE IT, DON'T GUESS The clarity check uses the microphone to score how your speaker actually sounds - a real measurement, not a number we made up. Run it before and after so you can hear and see the difference. The left/right speaker test confirms both channels are working. ONE TAP FROM ANYWHERE - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Control Center control - Action Button - Siri and Shortcuts: "Eject water with Clear Speaker" - Live Activity shows the cycle running while you dry the phone off BUILT FOR A WET PHONE IN YOUR HAND - Big target you can hit with damp fingers - Haptics and a visual meter so you know it is working - Works fully on device - no account, no sign-up, no internet needed - Nothing leaves your phone - Dark and light themes, full VoiceOver support - Available in English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Chinese HOW TO USE IT 1. Turn the volume up and unplug headphones (the app will remind you). 2. Hold the phone with the speaker pointing down; hold earbuds with the mesh facing down. 3. Press Eject and let it repeat until the app reports clear. 4. Wipe the phone and run the clarity check to confirm. GOOD TO KNOW Sound-based ejection helps push out surface water and loosen debris. It is preventive care, not a hardware repair, and it is not a medical or waterproofing device. If your device has been fully submerged, power it off and let it dry before running long cycles. Keep the volume at a comfortable level.
