Is Using Your Phone While Charging Safe? by gloriaunobi(f): 11:48pm On Nov 29, 2019
The battery is unarguably one of the most important of a smartphone. I mean, I’m not sure about you but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smartphone without a battery (tell me if you’ve seen one or use one, though). In the same vein, as important as the battery of a smartphone is, it could also get dangerous.

Take example, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 “Explosion Gate” saga. Problems with fast charging, battery design, and manufacturing processes were identified as the major reasons why the several units of the phone exploded, particularly while charging the device. This, as well as some myths and misconceptions, have made many smartphone users wonder if they can use their devices simultaneously while charging it without any negative effects on their smartphones and on themselves.

From the screenshot below it implies that my phone support 2 power source which are battery and AC.

What's your opinion on this?

Using your phone while charging is not safe. Especially those using power banks to charge phone while dozing off ontop bed.

Totally unsafe.
It's not safe for the device or the owner.
Energy which is supposed to be stored is being used, this can short the life span of the battery and also weaken your device ic's.
Most bulged batteries are as a result of this charging and using. Batteries that is already weak could also explode.

I am tech and am talking from experience.

''Heating up

Typically, when you use your phone heavily for too long (particularly for gaming, streaming, surfing the internet etc.), it heats up to some extent. Using your smartphone while charging sort of doubles the heat generated by your phone. While heat might not be significant enough to care or worry about, there are reports that too much heat could damage the chip/hardware inside your phone. Temperature increase has also been proven to trigger lower speed of a smartphone’s processor and GPU speeds.. Also, excessive heat could also cause your battery to begin to swell.''.

It doesn't matter whether you use 6000mah
It all depends if you multi task

My phone uses 5000 mah battery
I have a raypower power bank of 2O100 mah
We have a steady generator

But still i dey plug my phone twenty four hours a day as i dey use am
