In our day to day activities, we end up doing a whole lot of things with our phones we ought not to be doing, which leads to frustrations.

Below is a list of things we shouldn't be doing with our phones:

1. Don’t constantly swipe away recent apps, you end up losing much power to reopen them.

2. Don’t save your contacts to only your phone. Consider saving your contacts on your SIM card or your Google account to serve as a backup

3. Don’t leave your phone unsecured. Leaving your device unlocked would leave your privacy in the hands with anyone that gets in contact with your phone

4. Simply don’t root your device

5. Don’t use task killers or battery boosting apps. Current android versions are able to manage its resources on its own

6. Don’t download apps without researching or from unknown sources. Blindly installing apps may come with its own effects

7. Don't make calls or play games with your phone whiles it's plugged in

8. Don't use unoriginal charges or accessories. These may end up doing more harm than good

9. Don't ignore app permissions. Get to know what permissions you are granting, so these apps don't secretly monitor or use your data for unscrupulous activities

10. Don't ignore system or security updates. These bring you security and improve your device as a whole

11. Consider restarting your phone periodically. Never restarting your device would build up cache and temporary data which is stored on your phone and that leads to full storage and poor performance. Restarting your device at least two times a month is advisable

12. Don't leave apps like Facebook continuously running in the background or open a lot of tabs on Google Chrome. You would end up losing more data, battery, and RAM

13. Don't use your phone in the scorching sun. You would end up overheating your device

14. Don't leave your phone plugged in to continuously charge for hours

15. Don't use more than one antivirus app on your device, they would end up slowing your device, use more RAM and battery

16. Don't put your smartphone in your chest or back pocket, you might end up sitting on it or bend down for it to fall

17. Don't use an earpiece or a headset while charging your phone

18. Don't sleep on your smartphone, especially under your pillow, or putting it nearby your head while asleep

19. Don't use the ports of your phone with wet hands or in a wet environment

20. Don't charge your phone under your pillow or on your bed or on an uneven surface or put your phone on the bare floor

21. Don't exert pressure on your phone

22. Don't repair your phone with a roadside engineer or technician. They might not know what they are doing and end up damaging your device

23. Not clearing the cache and data of your device. Periodically, this should be done

24. Not using a screen protector or a back cover case. These end up giving your phone a layer of protection

25. Putting your phone face down or screen down would not be advised. You might end up damaging your screen
