My phone was in water for 2 minutes and it won’t let me charge. It’s been 3 days and still gives me the “water” warning.

I had my 12pro max in the ocean for a 2min video. Depth was maybe 2-2.5 feet. Now 3 days later it still gives we “water” in port warning when trying to charge.

Your phone has probably been damaged beyond repair. No phone is waterproof. The salt water of the ocean is even worse. All you can do is get an appointment at an Apple Store for an evaluation and be prepared to purchase an out warranty replacement.
