Smartphone Tips: As soon as the monsoon season arrives, the fear of getting wet and also increases the risk of damage to your precious smartphone. Many times during the office or out, there is a sudden rain and we start using mobiles with our wet hands, which can prove to be dangerous. In such a situation, it is important that you adopt some easy and smart measures so that your phone is also safe and you do not have to face any problem.
Use waterproof pouch or ziplock bag
Always keep a good quality waterproof mobile cover or ziplock bag while getting out in the rain. This is the easiest way to save your phone from sudden rain or water splashes.
Do not charge the phone with wet hands
The combination of water and electricity can be fatal. If the charging port of your hand or phone is wet, do not apply it on the charge at all. This can cause short circuit in the phone or you may feel current.
Keep battery saver mode on in moisture
There is high moisture in the air during the monsoon, which increases the background activity of the phone. In such a situation, the battery can end quickly. To avoid this, keep the battery saver mode on, especially when you are away from the charging point.
Turn off immediately if the phone is soaked
If your phone is wet then stop it immediately. Do not use hair dryer to dry it. Instead,
Wipe with clean and dry cloth
Keep it with without ripe rice or silica gel packets for 24 to 48 hours
Back up data
During the rainy season, the phone is more likely to deteriorate. Backup of essential files, contacts, photos and WhatsApp chats is saved in Google Drive or iCloud. Also, keep transferring data to the laptop from time to time.
Follow home remedies to remove moisture
Place silica gel or blotting paper in the phone cover, so that they can absorb the frozen moisture inside. These measures are effective in keeping the phone dry from inside.
Strong and water-resistant case
If you travel by bike or scooter, then file a case that gives an IP68 rating or military-grade protection. It protects the phone from water and shaking.
Keep cleaning the charging port
Moisture and dust can freeze dirt in USB-C or Lightning Port, causing problems in charging. Clean the port with soft brush or blower every few days.
Avoid calling in rain
Even if your phone is a water-resistant, it can be risky to call directly with ear in the rain. It is better that you use wired earphones or Bluetooth device.
Keep the temperature of the phone in the eye
During the rainy season, moisture can make the phone overheat. If the phone looks more hot during charging, then stop charging immediately and let it cool down.
