if you feel the need to bring your phone into the shower, you really need to take a hard look into your steamed up mirror

Why in the world would I bring the phone in the shower?

@RedIce25@lemmy.world 2026-09-27 09:18
I thought they meant in the bathroom while you shower but people have their phone IN the shower!?

I’ve been doing this for around 10 years, have very hot, steamy showers and never had a problem 🤷 As others have said, it’s to keep listening to my YouTube video essays and similar. Stuff that doesn’t need to be seen to be appreciated.

Waterproof ≠ Heatproof, and it also doesn’t guarantee chemicals and other impurities won’t wreck your phone. I took my old phone into the ocean a few times because we didn’t have lockers on the beach and no rental car to leave stuff in. It was rated waterproof and it survived, but it didn’t want to charge for quite a while and getting the salt and sand out of the usb-c port was tedious. My fitness watch is as happy in the pool swimming laps as it is anywhere else. I do take it off in the shower though because I don’t want to clean soap scum off it or have water trapped between the watch and my wrist. It sounds like I may be inadvertently saving the battery!

Why don’t these shower-phone people just get a much cheaper and more durable waterproof speaker? I get wanting music or a podcast or whatever but I can’t imagine how I would watch a video with all the soap and water everywhere

It is pretty amazing to me that some people really have to be told not to bring their expensive electronics into the shower. It’s the shower, just wash your dirty ass and get out.

WHO USES THEIR PHONE IN THE SHOWER

Wait, are the !showerthoughts@lemmy.world people really posting from the shower?!

Like i dunno who this article is for. We’ve had phones since 2014. Never had much of an issue on some; others die.

In the actual shower, where the water is? Who does that?

Who the hell takes their phone into the shower?

Sad, that the recommendation is “use Bluetooth speakers instead, which are more expendable” instead of “are safe to use”.

Interesting. I got a cheap Xiaomi smartwatch a few months ago and the manual straight up says that the water resistance is good enough for basic swimming but don’t bring it into a sauna or hot shower for this exact reason. (I avoid submerging it in general because I bought it secondhand and if it was refurbished that can mess up the waterproofing.)

Is this the same for baths? Although water temperature for my bath is hotter than for my showers, it seems to me less steam comes off a bath.

put it in a plastic bag or two and ready you are to keep being consumed by content.

“Why would you have the phone in the shower anyway?” MUSIC.

Unless you shower in boiling water there won’t be any steam.

I never knew there were this many people who bring phones in the shower. Where is this world going… People chase dopamine even while showering

If this is you, seek help. You have a problem.

fortunately the Steam deck doesn’t have that problem

There is two people in this thread people who read “bringing your phone in the shower” as having the phone in the same room as the shower. everyone else who seems to think that people are putting their phones directly under the shower nozzle.
