Just dropped my S6 in the toilet i took it out and it was all still working fine but for a moment it would not turn on then when it did it has started doing its own thing for example, camera opens from lock screen, screen keeps coming on and of on its own and apps are opening by themselves.
I have turned it off any recommendations on what I should do?
At work so don't have a bowl of rice.

Well it sounds like you're pretty screwed without rice.

I have had a look at some water test videos online and they did not get affected at all so I'm hoping if I put it in rice when I get home this will sort it.

yeah take the back off and the battery out, then put it in some rice and leave it overnight.
For the time being try just taking the back off and the battery out and try and let any water evaporate out of the phone.
What ever you do don't try using it while there could be water inside as this will short things out on the board and could break it all together

If you don't wave rice, try to wrap it in toilet paper as tight as you can, even tape the sucker up if you want. The moisture may start to get its way out.
Also, take off the back & if your sin card slot is pink now.. You have water damage. Doesn't mean much considering i've seen phones work fine with it. Best of luck with the phone buddy.

Rice man rice! Whenever you get to it! Also maybe use a hair dryer? Not sure if that is smart but I know rice will save your life

Take it to your carrier.
A month ago I took a swim with my S6 edge and I took it to T-Mobile, they sent me a new phone the next day.
