Phone Cover: Do you keep money and ATM/metro cards in your phone cover? Be careful immediately..
Risks of Keeping Banknotes or Cards Inside a Smartphone Cover: Nowadays, almost everyone owns a smartphone. People use back covers to protect them. But some people use it like a wallet and keep money or ATM/metro cards in the back cover. This seems convenient, as you can quickly access money or cards when needed. However, this habit can be very harmful to your phone. The phone can overheat, network problems can occur, and the cards can also get damaged. It's best to stop this habit immediately. Let's understand this in detail.
Things Kept in the Phone's Back Cover
Many people have a habit of keeping debit cards, credit cards, metro cards, or banknotes of 50, 100, 200, or 500 rupees in their phone's back cover. Some do this for emergencies, so they always have money with them. This seems like a clever solution, but it damages the phone. It becomes especially dangerous in the summer, as the phone heats up quickly. This habit affects the phone's performance and also compromises your safety.
Risk of Phone Overheating
According to a report by Kids Herald (Ref.), smartphones generate heat during use. When we play games, watch videos, or use the internet for extended periods, the phone's processor works harder, generating heat. If money or cards are kept in the back cover of a phone that is already heating, the heat cannot dissipate properly, and the phone overheats even more. This negatively affects the battery, and excessive heat can damage the phone. The phone's lifespan is reduced, and its performance slows down. This problem is exacerbated during charging.
Network and Signal Problems
In many smartphones, the antenna is located in the upper part. Keeping cards or money in the phone's back cover can interfere with the device's signal reception. The chip or magnetic strip on bank and metro cards causes interference with the signals. This can lead to dropped calls. The internet runs slowly, and the network becomes weak. If you keep money or cards in your phone's back cover and experience network problems with your device, the reason could be the cards and money stored in the back of your phone. You should stop this habit.
Cards and money also get damaged.
Keeping money or cards in your phone cover can also hurt them. The heat from the phone can cause the banknotes in the cover to wrinkle, tear, or fade. The magnetic strip on credit or debit cards can get damaged, rendering the card unusable. In some cases, wireless charging is also affected.
