3. Long exposure to blue light

Much like sleeping with your smartphone in bed, being exposed to blue light emitted from electronic devices for long periods of time can pose dangers for your health. Blue light can cause headaches, vision problems and affect your sleep cycle, so at least get blue light glasses. It’s been proved that the production of the melanin (a sleep cycle hormone) is hindered by blue light which confuses the body’s biological clock that becomes unable to wake you or make you sleep as usual. To avoid this situation, turn on the blue light filter on your smartphone so that your nights are more restful.

4. Not updating system software and smartphone applications

Not updating system software and applications is one of the main mistakes that people make when using their smartphones. Regardless of whether you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, you should always make the updates required by their operating system to keep them updated and well-functioning. Failure to do so could compromise the security of your devices (Android or iOS devices) and make them more susceptible to hacking and virus attacks. At this point, there’s no discussion: Always update your smartphone (Samsung or Apple devices always release numerous security updates) to make it more secure and help it perform better.

5. Using your smartphone with a weak network signal

Did you know that a weak cell phone signal can be harmful to your health? True, it can bring a lot of complications to your mind and affect your overall health. In addition to preventing you from surfing the net freely and in a good speed, your smartphone is forced to emit a stronger signal as a transmitter for network detection, and this wave transmission and higher energy consumption can cause damage to your brain. Keep in mind that radiation (regardless of the amount used) is always harmful to humans and smartphones are no exception, although there are many experts who say otherwise. It should also be noted that this incessant search for the network signal causes the smartphone to overheat and this is also a danger that you should not ignore.
