SO I SEE YOU GOT A PHONE. HERE'S SOME MYTHS I CAN EDUCATE YOU ON. NOW THEY SAY CLOSING APPS CAN BE GREAT FOR BATTERY LIFE BUT IN ACTUALITY THIS IS ACTUALLY A REALLY BAD SCENARIO BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY IMPACTS YOUR BATTERY BECAUSE IT'S HAVING TO LOAD THE APP AGAIN. NEXT MYTH IS THAT LEAVING YOUR PHONE ON CHARGE OVERNIGHT CAN ACTUALLY DAMAGE THE BATTERY. WELL, THIS WAS TRUE FOR THE OLDER GENERATION OF BATTERIES, BUT FOR LITHIUM ION YOUR PHONE IS DESIGNED TO REGULATE ITS CHARGE BASED ON HEAT AND OTHER FACTORS. OH NO PAPI, YOUR PHONE IS WET! YOU GOTTA PUT IT IN RICE! DON'T PUT IT IN RICE! THAT'S A VERY STUPID DECISION. YOU CAN ACTUALLY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE EVEN MORE BY PUTTING IT IN RICE. MY BEST RECOMMENDATION IS GET SILICA GEL PACKETS, PUT IT AMONGST THE PHONE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE SILICA GEL PACKETS, PUT IT IN FRONT OF A FAN. LEAVE IT ALONE. DO NOT, AT ANY CIRCUMSTANCE POWER THE PHONE ON. THIS WILL CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT AND DAMAGE THE PHONE. LEAVE IT IN FRONT OF THE FAN AND YOU'LL BE FINE. RICE DOES NOT HELP DRY OFF YOUR PHONE. IT KEEPS THE MOISTURE THERE AND DESTROYS THE THING. THE ONLY REASON WHY I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST CHARGING IT OVERNIGHT IN CASE OF FIRE. THAT'S STILL A RISK
