Speaker sounding muffled after getting wet? Wick uses low-frequency sound to help clear water trapped in your iPhone's speaker. Run a clean, then compare before-and-after sound levels. Try your first Clean & measure free. Unlock Wick Full with a one-time purchase for unlimited runs and every mode. No subscription, no ads, and no account required. CLEAN AND COMPARE Wick plays a reference tone and uses your microphone to compare sound levels before and after a clean. See the readings side by side, including when there is no meaningful change. Measurements depend on your surroundings and phone position; they are not a diagnosis of speaker condition. Microphone audio is processed on your device and is not saved or uploaded. FOUR MODES, ONE APP • Standard Eject: a low-frequency tone to help clear trapped water. • Deep Purge: a sweeping tone for another eject pattern. • Earbud Mode: a separate tone pattern for connected wireless earbuds. • Speaker Test: a 20 Hz–20 kHz sweep with a live frequency readout. READY WHEN YOU NEED IT Open Wick from a Lock Screen widget or Control Center, or say “Eject water with Wick” to Siri. Wick also warns you when your volume is low or audio is routed away from your iPhone speaker. Availability of runs and modes follows your free use or Wick Full unlock. CLEAR PRICING Your first Clean & measure is free. Wick Full unlocks unlimited Clean & measure runs, Deep Purge, Earbud Mode, and Speaker Test with one payment. You can restore your purchase. Sound waves may help clear water near a speaker opening. Wick cannot repair hardware damage or remove water from inside your device. Results vary.
