For every iPhone with a bottom speaker
Eject water and clear dust from your iPhone speaker straight from Safari. Works on every model with a bottom loudspeaker.
Turn your volume all the way up, then press Start.
Which speaker plays?
How does each range sound?
Listen for rattling, crackling or a range that drops out. Many phones have a single loudspeaker, so left and right may both come from the same place.
One setting stops this tool on iPhone more than anything else: Silent mode.
Flip the Ring/Silent switch or use the Action button so the bell is on. Silent mode mutes browser audio completely.
Take off the case and disconnect AirPods or any Bluetooth speaker so sound plays from the iPhone itself.
Hold the iPhone with the bottom grille facing the floor and run Water eject at full volume.
Still dull? Switch to Dust shake for one cycle, then check both speakers with the speaker test.
The main loudspeaker sits behind the grille on the bottom edge, next to the charging port. Since iPhone 7, the earpiece at the top doubles as a second speaker for stereo sound. This tool plays through both when they’re active, but the bottom speaker does most of the work.
Unplug the cable and let the port dry before charging again. Apple’s advice is to tap the iPhone gently against your hand with the connector facing down, then leave it somewhere dry with some airflow. Don’t use a heat source or compressed air, and don’t push a cotton swab or paper towel into the port.
Recent iPhones are water resistant, not waterproof, and resistance wears down over time. A grille that stays muffled after several cleaning cycles may have water deeper inside, which needs a technician.
It works on any iPhone that can open a modern website in Safari or Chrome. The steps are the same for every model with a bottom loudspeaker.
Silent mode is the usual cause. Also check volume, AirPlay output in Control Center, and that no Bluetooth device is connected.
Same principle, different delivery. A Shortcut needs installing first; this page plays the tone right away and adds dust and deep clean modes.
No. It only plays sound through your speaker, like music or a video does. Nothing is installed and the phone isn’t opened.
It can clear water from the speaker grille, but it can’t dry the inside of the phone. If anything else misbehaves, power it off and get it checked.
