Former Apple worker Tyler Morgan says these common habits can have a devastating impact on your iPhone’s battery

A former Apple employee has issued an urgent warning for iPhone users to stop doing five things that are causing irreversible damage to their devices.

You’ll definitely be guilty of at least some of them, trust us.

Here to warn you about the adverse impact your actions could be having on your phone is tech TikToker and former Apple sales specialist Tyler Morgan, who shared a round-up of the absolute no-nos for iPhone users in a TikTok video.

Don’t turn your phone off regularly

Morgan urged people not to turn their phone on and off every day, explaining that they are ‘designed to stay on’.

The only reason you should be turning them off is if they’re unresponsive apparently.

Don’t send photos to your friends

Other advice included using the AirDrop function to send photos to people close by.

The reason for this is that if your friend goes on to save the picture to their camera roll, they’ll then have two versions of the picture as it will save as an attachment in their messages app too – filling up precious storage space.

Don’t take your phone in the shower with you

This sounds obvious, but some people have been known to play shower playlists on their phone while they soak.

This, according to Tyler, is a very bad idea.

He said: “Moisture will get into your phone a little bit.

“The next thing is overheating. [Your phone] will overheat fast, especially for someone that likes to take long showers.”

Don’t sleep with your phone next to you

One of the most common mistakes that Morgan pointed out was sleeping with our phones tucked away under our pillows.
