Phone tips: Smartphones have become the most important part of our daily routine today. We charge our phones several times a day and remove them from the charger after the full charge is complete. But have you ever noticed which method you use when taking the phone out of charging? Often people accidentally or accidentally remove the charger from the phone or socket incorrectly. This may seem like a simple thing at first glance, but this little carelessness over a long period of time can quickly shorten the life of your expensive phone, its charging cable and battery.

Do you also make this mistake?

The most common and dangerous mistake when removing the phone from charging is grabbing the cable (wire) and pulling. Most people pull the cord directly rather than the plug or adapter. Doing so puts more strain on the fine copper wire inside the cable, causing it to break from the inside. This causes the problem of loose connection in the cable and the phone starts charging slowly. Apart from this, repeated pulling of the cord can also loosen the charging port (C-Type or Lightning Port) of the phone, which may cost you a lot to repair.

These are also big mistakes

Another big mistake is not switching off the phone before unplugging or leaving the adapter on in the wall socket. Many people unplug the phone from the data cable, but leave the charger switch on. Due to which the adapter continues to draw current and heats up. This is not only a waste of electricity, but also poses a risk of short circuiting or burning the charger. So, always make it a habit to turn off the main switch before taking out the phone or immediately after taking it out.

Along with this, jerking the phone while removing it also proves to be harmful. If you pull the pin even slightly horizontally, the phone’s internal charging connector may be damaged. The rule to properly unplug the phone is very simple. Always grasp the head of the cable (the part that plugs into the phone or adapter supply) firmly with your fingers and pull straight out. Never put pressure on the string.
