Tech Myths: Will turning off WiFi make the battery last longer? Do not believe these 5 false things at all..

There are many rumors about smartphones, which people believe without thinking. Rumors spread even more due to many unverified information available on the Internet and social media. If you also believe these misconceptions to be true, then be alert. Let's know the 5 most common things related to your phone, which actually have no truth.

Battery lasts longer by turning off WiFi and Bluetooth.

Many people believe that WiFi and Bluetooth should be turned off to save the phone's battery. However, according to experts, if these features are on but not in use, they do not consume much battery. In fact, the most effective way to save battery can be to turn on airplane mode, which reduces the power consumption of the phone.

Keeping a wet phone in rice to dry

If the phone falls into water, many people recommend keeping it in rice to dry. But according to experts, this method can be harmful. Small particles of rice can go inside the phone and can have a bad effect on its functionality. Instead, let the phone dry on its own by placing it in a dry and ventilated place.

Private browsing can hide IP address and location.

People have the impression that turning on Incognito Mode completely protects their online identity. However, this is not entirely true. Private mode only prevents your browsing history from being saved, but websites can still collect your information. If you want to hide your real location and IP address, using a VPN can prove to be effective.

Closing apps makes the battery last longer.

Many smartphone users believe that repeatedly closing apps open in the background saves battery. But this is a misconception. When an app is in the background, it usually goes into 'freeze' mode and does not consume much battery. Frequently closing and reopening apps puts more pressure on the battery, increasing the phone's energy consumption.

Overnight charging damages the battery.

There is a popular belief that leaving your phone on charge overnight damages the battery quickly. But the reality is that once your phone is 100% charged, it stops taking additional charge. Battery capacity does decrease over time, but it does not depend on how long you are charging it.
