What to do if I dropped my AirPods in the toilet?
If you drop your AirPods in the toilet, wipe them with a towel, then leave them to completely dry before using them. You should wait for at least a few hours for them to dry because there may be water inside of them.
If you accidentally drop your AirPods in the toilet, it is likely that they will no longer work if they get fully submerged in water.
None of the generations of AirPods are currently waterproof.
With that being the case, due to the amount of water they will be exposed to, it is likely that the water will reach parts of the AirPods that it is not meant to and cause them to become damaged.
However, if your AirPods do not fall into the part of the toilet where the water is, you may be ok.
In this case, it would be best to just wipe them down with a towel and to wait for them to completely dry before trying to use them.
If your AirPods get submerged in the water and your AirPods do survive, it is still likely that the battery life will be much lower, the mic might not work anymore or it might be damaged and you may have issues connecting to your devices. It is also likely that there will be some cosmetic damage on the AirPods.
With that being said, the AirPods 3rd gen and the AirPods Pro are water-resistant so there is a small chance that you will get lucky. But, it is likely that you will need to replace them soon.
