It is important to pay attention to the battery also
When the phone’s battery starts deteriorating, it swells larger than its actual size. Many users ignore the swollen battery of the smartphone. Charging the phone in such a situation is not free from danger.
Is the smartphone getting hot?
The hotness or coldness of the phone may depend on the weather conditions. But if the phone is hot for a long time, then keeping the phone in such a situation causes it to overheat. Charging an overheated phone can cause problems.
At which place are your phones charging?
The place to charge the phone also matters. Leaving the phone in a place where it gets heated after charging can be dangerous. Companies advise users to avoid keeping the phone on the bed or under the pillow while charging.
