Charging Not Available – Liquid has been Detected Error
Stop using your iPhone or iPad when you see a ” Liquid has been Detected error message. That’s the very first step you should follow, and continue with the following steps to fix the problem.
Clean the Charging Cable:
Clean up your Charging Cable, and you may use a Hair Dryer or keep it just outside under a Fan for a few minutes to let it dry. If sweat or water contact happened to the charging cable by any chance, this could help clean it up.

Clean Charging Port:
Suppose there is a water splash or you dropped your iPhone recently in the water. In that case, it is very important to put the iPhone in a Rice Bag or Silica Gel Packs (Amazon) to dehumidify or remove moisture content from the inside of the iPhone or iPad.

Important: If you plan to put the iPhone or iPad into a Rice Bag, don’t put it directly.

Even if you haven’t dropped your iPhone or iPad in Water, a Lightning cable with water contact or sometimes a splash or spill of water on the device could have entered the lightning port. Our bad luck, of-course. Some people, even after soaking their iPhone in water for several minutes, luckily don’t see such messages.
Based on Water Density, things could work out badly for us.
How Long it Takes to Dry iPhone and iPad?
Should I keep my iPhone for 1 day or 1 week?

If the device was working usually, then the water damage could be minimal, and these 48 hours are enough to remove any water from the iPhone or iPad.
If there is too much water or the device doesn’t turn on after the incident, then rice bags or silica gel packs may not be helpful.
