Quickest option: add it to your home screen

Run it with Back Tap
Go to Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap, choose Double Tap or Triple Tap, and pick your Water Eject shortcut. Tapping the back of the phone then opens the tool, even with wet fingers.
Run it with the Action button
On iPhone 15 Pro and later, open Settings → Action Button, swipe to Shortcut and choose Water Eject. Press and hold the button to launch it.
How the shortcut actually removes water
The shortcut just opens the tool. The work is done by a low 165 Hz tone, which makes the speaker cone move far enough to push water droplets out of the grille. It's the same principle Apple Watch uses in Water Lock. For more iPhone-specific steps, including the earpiece and liquid alerts, see iPhone water eject.
Common questions
Are downloaded water eject Shortcuts safe?
Most just play a tone, but a Shortcut file can run many kinds of actions, so only add ones whose steps you’ve read. Building your own from the steps here takes under a minute and contains one action you can see.
Why do I still have to press Play?
Safari blocks websites from playing sound until you tap the page. That’s a browser rule that protects everyone from autoplaying audio. The shortcut gets you to the tool instantly, and one tap starts the tone.
Is there a shortcut for Android?
Yes. Open this site in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu and choose “Add to Home screen” or “Install app”. It then opens like an app from your home screen.
