I doubt the phone will ever work correctly again. None of the components are compatible with water damage and corrosion can occur within weeks affecting different functions. Personally I think yes, a little optimistic.

Best bet.
Data recovery then bin.
But even data recovery is low %
Wife got hers dunked by my lad, toasted.
So I took apart, cleaned it all with methanol, reassembled and became apparent the screen was gone, I hooked up to pc and blindly unlocked, then set to mtp USB then authorised the pc access, all on a blank screen, using only the touchscreen and screenshots of where the buttons will be.
5hours solid work and only because I roughly know what I'm doing.

That must have taken so much patience and beyond most folk, certainly beyond me. Thankfully I back up weekly and photos are automatically backed up as soon as I'm on wifi.

Worth the time for the photos alone,
It's actually the display controller on mainboard that's toast so touch feedback worked.
So frustrating though getting it into file transfer mode, the button was in different place on invisible screen thanks to an update.
No joke, it was hard work

Very well done for persevering @viridis and I sincerely hope @Anonymous has some good luck retrieving all her stuff if the phone as I suspect is kaput.
