Your phone can survive thousands of messages, questionable autocorrect decisions, and an astonishing amount of scrolling. Its battery, however, has limits. A few everyday charging habits can wear it down faster, waste your time, or create unnecessary safety risks.
The biggest culprit isn’t necessarily leaving your phone plugged in overnight. Modern smartphones manage charging automatically, so that old warning deserves a little less panic. Heat, damaged accessories, and careless charging setups deserve considerably more attention.
