It makes it awful for the purpose of drying wet electronics. It actually impedes the drying process by preventing air from circulating. Plus rice is typically dusty, and you don’t want rice dust in your damp electronics.
You’ll have a dryer device much faster if you just point a fan at it.
That depends on your humidity. As I already said, if you’re in a desert that’s normally dry enough…
If you’re not in a desert, though, you’ll have to dry the desiccant for it to have an actually significant effect. Though that’s true regardless of which desiccant.
Within the phone, general relative humidity is FAR more important than airflow.
Right but none of that makes rice a good enough desiccant to be more effective than airflow. I live in a very humid environment and an hour or so under a fan is sufficient to dry electronics.

lol no. Dried desiccant in a bag will absolutely murder any fan in a humid environment.
An actual desiccant, yes. Rice isn’t that.
