As soon as the name of Holi comes, splashes of colours, splashes of water and a lot of fun start appearing before our eyes. But in this happy environment, one thing is most in danger, that is your smartphone. If water or color gets into the phone due to a little carelessness, it can cause huge damage. Many people forget the security of their phones in the excitement of the festival and have to regret it later. If you want to create memories of Holi and also want your phone to remain safe, then definitely adopt some easy precautions.

During Holi, dry and wet colors keep flying in the air. Water splashes everywhere. In such a situation, moisture can reach the speaker, microphone and charging port of the phone. Many times the phone does not get damaged immediately, but after a few days its sound reduces or problems in charging start occurring. Moisture that gets inside can gradually damage the circuit. Therefore, it is not right to consider it a trivial matter.

Waterproof pouch is the easiest solution

The simplest way to keep your phone safe is to use a waterproof pouch or sturdy cover. Such pouches are available in the market at different prices which prevent water and color from entering inside. If you are going to go out and play Holi, then keep the phone closed in a pouch instead of keeping it directly in the pocket. This small step can save big expenses.

What to do if there is no cover?

Even if you do not have a specific cover, there is no need to worry. A simple plastic zip bag can also be useful. Place the phone in it and close it tightly and then keep it in your pocket. Try not to take out the phone again and again. The less the phone is opened, the safer it will be. Although this is not a permanent solution, it definitely provides temporary protection.

Do not touch the phone with wet hands

While playing Holi, people often pick up their phones with colored or wet hands. This is the biggest mistake. Drops of water or color present on hands can go inside the phone. If you have to make a call or take a photo, clean and dry your hands first. A little caution can keep your device safe.

What to do if the phone gets wet?

Suppose water accidentally falls on the phone, instead of panicking take immediate action. First of all switch off the phone. Wipe gently with a dry and clean cloth. Do not put it on charging immediately even by mistake, because it may cause short circuit. Keep the phone in a dry place for some time. If the problem persists then it would be better to take it to the service centre.

Take special care while taking photos

The excitement of taking photos and videos on Holi is natural. But jumping around with a phone in a crowd can be risky. Try to take a photo from a short distance and put the phone back in a safe place as soon as you are done. Remember, memories can be made again, but the loss of the phone can be heavy on the pocket.
