iPhones do not have a specific 'water mode' feature. However, it's important to know that some iPhone models are water-resistant. If your iPhone gets submerged, dry it off immediately and avoid charging it until it's completely dry. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe off any water. You can also submerge the phone in a bag of uncooked rice or silica gel packets to absorb moisture.
