Using phones while charging won't harm battery life, experts say

Using a smartphone while it is charging does not inherently harm its battery life, thanks to features like bypass charging and heat suppression technology. These systems reroute power to run applications rather than charge the battery, preventing overheating and potential damage. While this can slow down the charging process, especially during intensive tasks, most modern phones are equipped to manage temperature increases. Additionally, myths about needing to fully drain a battery before recharging or avoiding overnight charging are debunked; modern phones have protections against overcharging and optimize charging cycles.
