6. Downloading unknown smartphone apps

Keep in mind that there are now many fake or useless applications for smartphones, so you should not use and install them on your smartphone. There are those that just want to show ads (to earn money on the number of views), those that want to access your location, and the ones that just want to collect data from your smartphone. Keep them as far away from you as possible, because these apps don’t work and can hurt your smartphone in terms of battery, performance, system and, of course, they may have access to your sensitive data. Before downloading any application, you need to review the ratings, characteristics, and comments of those who have used it. Only then will you be able to have a useful and functional application on your smartphone.

7. Holding the smartphone close to your skin

Smartphones are known to heat up and can get very hot if used for many hours at a time (especially when the device is older). You need to be very careful if the phone starts heating up, especially if it is in contact with your skin. There are studies that focus on the connections between cell phones and cancer, and the transmission signal around 900 MHz is one of the most worrying ones. This is where the smartphone is found to overheat and this heat can easily be absorbed into your skin if the device is too close to your body. While there are no proven effects of radiofrequency radiation, it is advisable that you pay special attention to cell phone radiation protection — keep your smartphone as far away from your skin as possible. People are also becoming more aware of the link between cell phones and brain cancer, so wear a headset or put your phone on speakers whenever you make a call so you don’t have to hold your smartphone next to your ear. These are the main rookie mistakes you make when using your smartphone and can be very harmful to your health. So, be sure to enjoy the benefits of your smartphone because while also caring for your own health!
