Read full descriptionHide full description
Play a guided, finite sound pattern that may help move trapped water away from your iPhone speaker. The session runs through the built-in speaker and shows progress; stop playback at any time. When it ends, you can play a separate reference sound and decide for yourself how the speaker sounds. A CLEAR, GUIDED FLOW β’ Follow simple preparation and safe-use guidance β’ Confirm that the built-in iPhone speaker is active β’ See progress throughout the finite tone session β’ Stop playback immediately at any time β’ Play a separate reference sound test HONEST BY DESIGN The app does not use the microphone, record audio, diagnose your speaker, measure improvement, repair hardware, waterproof a device, remove dust, or increase maximum volume. Results vary, and water removal is not guaranteed. If your device is damaged or remains affected, follow Appleβs guidance or seek professional support. PRIVATE AND LOCAL Sound is generated on your iPhone. Core cleaning and sound-test features work without an account, advertising, or cloud audio upload. Limited privacy-conscious product analytics never contain audio or personal content. PLAYBACK CONTROL Playback uses the built-in speaker. The app checks the audio route before each session and stops if the route changes, the app moves to the background, or playback is interrupted. Keep the speaker unobstructed and away from your ears; stop if the sound is uncomfortable or distorted. One guided session included Unlock unlimited guided cleaning with one purchase. https://ejecttone.app/privacy https://ejecttone.app/support https://ejecttone.app https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Water Eject plays three rounds at the bottom speaker grille to shake water droplets loose: the pulsed low tone Apple Watch uses after a swim, then a short broadband pulse, then a higher band. It works on the bottom speaker, not on the earpiece, the microphone or the charging port. Hold the phone speaker-down and press Start. Round 1, Low Sweep, 21 seconds. A sweep around the centre you set on the dial, anywhere from 120 to 260 Hz. Then the tap step. Tap the phone gently against your palm, speaker down, until it chimes. That is Apple's own advice for a wet iPhone, and the app counts the taps and moves on by itself. Round 2, Pulse Shots, 18 seconds. Short broadband pulses. The tap step again. Round 3, High Sweep, 12 seconds. A sweep from 400 to 1,000 Hz. Session complete. Let it dry before charging. The tone runs 51 seconds across the three rounds, and the two tap steps sit between them. Drops shake out of the disc on screen while the tone plays, and the phone pulses in your hand with it. The dial sets the centre of the first round's sweep, from 120 to 260 Hz. Rounds 2 and 3 are fixed. How do you check the result? With microphone access and the volume all the way up, the app plays a short chime through the speaker before the session and again after it, then compares the two levels. It tells you whether the speaker came back louder, about the same, or quieter. It never shows a percentage. Play it through the iPhone's own speaker. Disconnect headphones, AirPods or a Bluetooth speaker first, and turn the volume all the way up. It cannot dry the inside of a phone. If the speaker still sounds muffled after a session, let it dry and come back to it. Made for anyone whose iPhone just came out of a pool, the rain, the shower or the sink. Your first session is included. After that, one purchase unlocks unlimited sessions for good: nothing renews, and there are no ads. No account is needed, and the tone is made on the iPhone itself. You can start a session with Siri: say "Start a run in Water Eject" and the app opens and plays the tone. Hold the phone speaker-down and press Start.
