Mobile phones are now an important part of our lives, and it’s hard to imagine what life would be like without a smartphone in hand. Cell phones have made our lives so much easier in the last 15 years that there is almost nothing you can’t do without one today.

In addition to helping people stay in touch, apps that help you order food, items, and even get around have taken the world by storm.

But if you are very afraid of germs and use your phone too much, we have some bad news for you. There’s a good chance that bacteria are living on your phone.

This is expected since we carry our phones everywhere and often set them down in public. Because cell phones touch so many surfaces, pockets, and hands, they may harbour pathogens.

After all, most of us don’t wash our phones like we wash our hands and faces after being outside.

If you want to know how much bacteria is on a phone, prepare yourself. Phones have 10% more bacteria than toilet seats.

It’s not just a number picked out of thin air. Researchers at the University of Arizona have confirmed it.

Researchers at the University of Arizona found that teenagers’ phones have at least 17,000 bacteria, which is 10 times more than a normal toilet seat.

The Corona era taught people about hygiene and handwashing. After the pandemic, people resumed their usual practises of repeatedly sanitising their hands to remove bacteria.

Avoid bringing your phone into the bathroom to avoid bacteria. Experts say that you should wash your phone a few times a month with 60% water and 40% rubbing alcohol.

Spraying liquid on your phone may damage its display. Disinfectants work too. According to the Daily Star, 70% of disinfectants can clean phone screens.
