South African online users were in stitches after a video of people participating in the iPhone washing challenge went viral.

In the clip uploaded by @asamkeleee, two people are washing two iPhones at the kitchen sink, hoping no damage will happen.

Unfortunately, that was not the case; moments after they washed the two phones, they switched them on, and the camera was not working normally. The phones took blurry pictures. The TikTok user even compared the camera quality to that of a Mobicel.
