Many myths and rumors about smartphones are spread among the people. Today, we are going to make you aware of the truth behind them.

Many types of rumors keep going on in social media and in everyday life about smartphones and other gadgets. Many people believe that the phone charges faster in airplane mode, while some believe that keeping the phone's damaged battery in the freezer fixes it. Many of you must have heard such rumors or tried them. Today we are going to tell you some such rumors and the truth behind them.

Does the battery charge faster in airplane mode?

This is not true. Although the phone stops searching for signals in airplane mode, it does not have much effect on the charging speed of the battery. It is necessary to have a compatible charger and cable to charge the phone fast and safely. Yes, by turning off the phone, the background processes running in it stop and it can charge a little faster.

Does closing background apps save battery?

This is completely wrong, in fact, it is the opposite. Actually, if you do not close the background apps in the phone, the battery will last longer. Closing and reopening apps repeatedly consumes more battery. Closing and opening the app reloads it in the RAM, which consumes more battery.

Does keeping wet devices in rice fix it?

Many people believe that keeping wet smartphones or other devices in rice will remove their moisture. Actually, rice is not a strong drying agent. It slowly absorbs only the moisture on the surface, but it releases particles that can damage the charging or other ports.

Does a damaged battery get fixed in the freezer?

If the battery starts charging slowly or overheating, then some people keep it in the freezer. They believe that doing so can fix the battery. This is completely a rumor. Nowadays, most phones come with lithium-ion batteries and these batteries are not designed for very cold or very hot temperatures. Keeping them in the freezer slows down their chemical reactions, which reduces the life of the battery.
