Check your Phone Water Resistance with this free app. Know here....

Water Resistance


While several smartphones today have an IP rating for water and dust resistance like IP65 or IP67 ratings even though one would not dare to test the same by dunking an expensive smartphone underwater. So, an Android developer has created a free app that lets users test whether their IP-rated smartphones are still water-resistant or not.
 
So let's start:

Water Resistance Tester  App

This app will help you test whether the IP67/IP68 water-resistance seals on your phone are still intact by using the barometer built into your phone. 

For those unaware, most premium smartphones these days come with IP68 or at least an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. With time and usage, however, the water-resistant seals that prevent water from getting inside devices can get compromised.

So, as one would not dare to submerge their Android smartphone underwater to test if the seals are intact or not, a developer created the Water Resistance Tester app to do that more safely.

So, if you have an IP-rated Android phone that you have been using for a long time, go ahead and use the Water Resistance Tester app to check if your seals are still intact or not. The app is available to download for free on the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, the app is not available for iOS devices.

Download the app here for free. 

Note: If your phone does not have a built-in barometer, it cannot be supported. Having a barometer built-in to the phone is required for the core functionality of this app, and no app can install physically missing hardware.

 Mostly the present smartphones contain a barometer built-in.

How Does the Water Resistance App Work?

Once you open the app, it will ask you to leave your device idle for a moment. The users are then required to put both their thumbs on two marked points on the screen and press down firmly.

Following this, the app measures the minute pressure differences with a varying degree of accuracy to test whether the water-prevention seals are intact or not.

However, if you are skeptical about the test results, you can also check if the app gives a negative result when you remove your SIM card from its dedicated tray. If it does, then you can be sure this Android app is working correctly on your device.
