After years of users doing it anyway, Apple has finally published guidance confirming that putting your iPhone in a bag of rice isn't a great way to deal with liquid getting inside your phone.
In an update to the "liquid-detection alert" support page (thanks, Macworld), Apple now states, under the section about what not to do, "Don't put your iPhone in a bag of rice. Doing so could allow small particles of rice to damage your iPhone."
