Lots of us are constantly on our iPhones… but did you know there\u2019s a myriad of bad habits that are detrimental to their health?<\/h3>\n

If you’re doing any of these things, you might want to rethink:<\/p>\n

1. Never turning it off<\/strong><\/p>\n

At least once a week, as hard as it may be, you need to start switching your iPhone off. Your battery will start dying faster if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

If you leave it on, it distresses the battery, say experts.<\/p>\n

2. Leaving Bluetooth and WiFi on all of the time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that when your phone isn\u2019t using WiFi and Bluetooth, you should switch these functions off? It\u2019s just wasting energy. Best to leave them off until you need them.<\/p>\n

3. Whipping your iPhone out and using it during extreme weather<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s extremely hot, or extremely cold – whipping your phone out in these conditions ain\u2019t good for it.<\/p>\n

It’s recommended that you only use your phone when the temperature is between 0 and 35 degrees. Anything less or anything more could drain the battery or shut the phone down temporarily while it has a little freak out.<\/p>\n

4. Leaving it plugged in overnight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plenty of people do this, but it’s not great for your phone. It actually can result in permanent damage overtime and your phone could eventually start dying quicker.<\/p>\n

5. Fully charging or fully draining the battery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fully charging your phone can reportedly result in the battery dying quicker.<\/p>\n

And if you completely drain your battery, it could fall into a “deep discharge state,” according to experts.<\/p>\n

6. Not using a proper Apple charger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using a fake Apple charger could have a detrimental impact on your iPhone – in fact, it could be a much more expensive exercise if you don\u2019t spend the money on an Apple charger and you have to replace your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Not cleaning your iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n

They\u2019re in hands, they\u2019re up against faces, they\u2019re taken into toilets – PHONES ARE FILTHY.<\/p>\n

So Apple says: CLEAN THE THING.<\/p>\n

A soft, lint free cloth will do the trick.<\/p>\n

8. Not using the passcode function<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t use a passcode, you\u2019re amongst friends.<\/p>\n

50% of iPhone users don\u2019t use this function – and Apple recommends you make the switch to security.<\/p>\n

Around 40% of robberies last year were of mobile phones\u2026 And think of all the confidential or important information you have on there!<\/p>\n

9. Allowing location services on your apps all the time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Location services on all apps all of the time is just not great for accuracy etc – when you\u2019re not using it, turn it off:<\/p>\n

Settings > Privacy > Location Services to deactivate. Go on, do it.<\/p>\n

10. Letting push notifications through for EVERY SINGLE APP<\/strong><\/p>\n

A major battery drainer.<\/p>\n

It also requires CONSTANT data connection, which can drain your data allowance and cost you serious coin.<\/p>\n
