We’ve all taken our phones into the bathroom—but it might be time to stop. Here’s why:
Bacteria and Germs
Bathrooms are breeding grounds for bacteria. Your phone can pick up germs from surfaces like faucets and toilets—studies even show phones can carry more bacteria than a toilet seat. These germs easily transfer to your hands and face, increasing infection risk.
Moisture Damage
Humidity from showers and sink splashes can damage your phone’s internal components over time, affecting performance and longevity.
Distraction and Safety
Using your phone in the bathroom can lead to accidents—dropping it in water or even minor injuries from not paying attention. It also distracts from essential hygiene habits.
To protect your phone and your health, leave it outside the bathroom. A small change can prevent big problems.
