It is absolutely unsafe. It kills your battery overtime, you are exposed to harmful amount of radiation, risk of explosion, the issue of overheat which may lead to leakage of dangerous chemicals that could be harmful to the user ( this may also cause the phone to explode and imagine that happening while its on your hand), you also risk being electrocuted ( I am sure some of us are familiar with this). It also poses a risk to your charger...

I think it is safe, though it will take a longer time for your phone to be fully charged. If you can use your laptop while plugged in, I see no reason while you shouldn't be able to use your phone.

NB: To prolong the life of your battery, don't always use it when it's charging smiley

Everybody that has been saying it is unsafe are yet to give a scientific reason. They are just answering based on some unverified Internet picture. While we stay away from it as a precaution we need to know why it is 'unsafe' or may be it is even safe

Using your phone while it's charging damages your battery gradually and thereby reducing your battery power and lifespan. Using your phone while it's charging is as dangerous as making a phone call at a gas station or using using your phone while lighting or refilling a gas cylinder. Very dangerous.
Re: Is Using Your Phone While Charging Safe? by seborrhic: 7:45am On Nov 30, 2019
If it's unsafe,why even leave it on for calls to come in at all?
Why not switch it off?
The only disadvantage is on the battery whose lifespan it MAY shorten;and that's if it's used like that for months or years.
We should learn to adopt basic,not even that advanced analytical mind to looking at issues in Nigeria and not continue using unfounded rumors or stone age ways of looking at things.
That is the simple reason why white societies are 100-200 years ahead of us.

bro, don't mind them jare, some stupid internet news monger has destroyed their perception of how a phone should work.
They can all use laptop while charging but would refuse to use phone.
Most phones were built to be used while charging.
Else your phone would switch off automatically while charging.

These things don't apply to Nigeria

You have only one opportunity to enjoy your phone and that's when there is light because you can't trust NEPA

they will be watching you, when your ba3 is 5% and you want to go and charge your phone they will just off the light

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.
oga tech, who told you it's not safe? I dont know about 10 years ago but 2019 phones are smart coupled with smart engine. If there is someone somewhere telling you it's not safe tell them they are lying.

Re: Is Using Your Phone While Charging Safe? by SMBH: 8:03am On Nov 30, 2019
Using your phone while charging it simultaneously is dangerous because when you do that, your phone may heat up faster than that its cooling system cools it which could cuase explosion as batteries are can explode when they are exposed to high temperature
