Most people take up this habit without knowing that they risk damaging their smartphone.

The smartphone is now an important part of our daily life to such an extent that we have to use it all the time, even when we eat. Many of us make a call or answer the phone while it’s charging. Those who adopt this habit risk damaging the phone forever.

Why you shouldn’t talk on the phone while charging

According to experts, a smartphone heats up while charging, and the slightest technical failure or power outage can cause the phone to overheat, which can damage it. This also applies to new devices that are not protected from these incidents.

So if you receive a call while the device is charging, it is preferable to unplug the phone before answering.

Useful tips from experts

Some studies show that most people hold their cell phones in their hands by scrolling them with their thumb, with the device itself resting on their little finger.

As per Healthline, “the fingers that suffer the most from carrying a smartphone or tablet are the little finger and thumb.” This can even cause them to become inflamed.

When you use a smartphone, it is important to consider the following recommendations:

– hold your cell phone with both hands
– write with both thumbs
– do not bend your neck or head too far forward and maintain an upright posture when using your smartphone
– do not write too fast
– do not use your cell phone or other mobile device for long periods of time
– if you use chat frequently, install the WhatsApp web app on your computer to type with both hands
– Choose the right size for your smartphone so that you can use it comfortably.
