Abstract: A method for controlling liquid ingress detection and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: controlling a liquid ingress detection circuit to start liquid ingress detection in a Type-C interface; stopping applying a voltage to first data pins when a detection result of the liquid ingress detection is that liquid ingress occurs in the Type-C interface, and obtaining a first parameter of a screen of the electronic device; when the first parameter of the screen is a screen-off state, controlling the liquid ingress detection circuit to start next liquid ingress detection in the Type-C interface after first duration; and when the first parameter of the screen is a screen-on state, controlling the liquid ingress detection circuit to start next liquid ingress detection in the Type-C interface after second duration, where the first duration is greater than the second duration.
