It's what I do, for my mobile phone and my own sake. You may have your own tips that I'll find useful but these are the ones I've learned and practiced over time and it's been a good practice for me. Our mobile phones need all the care to keep a healthy and strong life too, a friend refers to her phone as her baby and we do know how babies are cared for lol.
There may not be too much to be done for our phones to be in healthy condition but these little seem like a lot for some people, I've seen people who just have a phone for calls and nothing more so they don't bother to care for it well enough. If you use your mobile phone a whole lot, you need to care for it as much.
I'm no phone health expert, don't mind that image lol. But I tend to learn of more ways to practice in my digital life for health sake and longevity of the devices I use. I would have love to share all tips I follow on my various devices but that would take too much writing and reading in one post so I'm just going to focus on mobile phones and in-apps.
These are the ones I use a lot so I have tips guiding my use of them. They are not much tips but I thought of sharing them and also use it as a form of reminder for the ones I forget to do sometimes.
Updating apps I frequent for maximum features is a good tip, I've once using an app for months with no update and when I updated it, it felt like I've been missing out on a whole lot of features added to the updated one. If you use the app a lot, a better version of it is definitely going to be better worth it. Clearing cache as often as possible helps apps work faster and better on your phone or any device, I do this almost unconsciously lol.
Rebooting or powering off my phone once in a while is another thing I take seriously for my phone care. I don't let my phone die from not being able to charge the battery but only on my own accord to just let it rest for sometime. And for this, I charge up or stop using phone at low battery when there is no way to charge up. If I think it's been a while my phone turned off, I turn it off myself or reboot it.
One tip I still struggle with but try to keep is Not sleeping off while still using your phone as I've actually witness scary outcomes from this habit. It is one of the most easiest habit to get and hard to quit but I've tried to keep this tip and the results have been really good for me. You get to sleep well and also have your phone device rest in a better state, you know what I mean lol.
Using dark themes or reducing the brightness of my phone at night is also a good tip, I prefer using dark theme and dull lights anytime of the day though. Most of the in-apps use my phone settings to work, especially the dark theme I selected and so a lot of my apps are on dark theme as well. Not many prefer this but in light mode cases, it's best to reduce brightness at night. I once turned on a friend's phone and I almost turned blind 😂
I also don't this tip as much as I should but it's important to run phone updates when it pops up so you could keep your phone in good shape and also enjoy any recent features or looks. Being careful of where you download apps from, how you keep you phone when not in use and using the right charging devices for your phone are important too.
I know there are more tips you would know that I didn't mention, I'll love to know them so I could keep my baby (phone) in good condition hehe. Do share yours in the comment section and let's interact.
