Firstly, quickly take your device out of water, unplug any cables and use a cloth to wipe it off. Then, you can remove water from the Lightning connector by tapping the phone gently. The Lightning connector should be put facing down because it will be easily for water to run outside. After doing that, let your smartphone dry. The ideal atmosphere is near an open window, or in dry spaces. You can use a fan to make it dry quickly but never use an external heat source like hair-dryer.
