Abstract:
An electronic device and a method for sensing moisture in an electronic device are provided. The method for sensing moisture in an electronic device includes sensing moisture introduced into a connector of the electronic device in a state where one or more functions executable by connection of the connector with an external electronic device are activated. Further, the method includes deactivating the one or more functions based on the sensing; determining whether the introduced moisture is removed in a state where the one or more functions are deactivated; and activating the one or more functions if the moisture is removed.
