While technology can be a great blessing in our lives, it can also open us up to certain vulnerabilities that society hasn’t ever had to deal with before. Because of this, it often takes a while for people to understand exactly how the technology they’re using could be potentially harmful to them.

When it comes to using your smartphone, you might not initially recognize just how dangerous this small device could be. But with news stories about devices exploding or bursting into flames, it’s important to know what you can do to keep yourself safe in any and all situations. To help you with this, here are three tips for safely using your smartphone.

Know When To Put Your Phone Down

One of the first ways you can keep yourself safe when using your device is knowing what you’ve spent enough time on it. Extended use on smartphones can have a lot of negative effects on both your physical and mental health.

According to ConnectSafely.org, being on your phone for long periods of time can affect things like your mood, sleep patterns, concentration, fine motor skills and more. Because of this, it’s wise to stop using your smartphone when you’re doing activities that require you to be paying attention, like driving or working, or when you’re wanting to wind down at the end of the day.

Take Care When Charging Your Device

Not only do you need to be careful when you’re using your device, but you also want to take care when it comes to charging your device.

The Newton New Hampshire Fire Department explained to Mustafa Gatollari, a contributor to Distractify.com, that having your phone on your bed or under your pillow when charging it can be very dangerous. Because your phone and its charger can get very hot during charging, you put yourself and your linens at risk of catching on fire if the heat isn’t able to dissipate. To safely charge your phone, make sure it’s not resting on anything flammable while charging.

Keep Your Phone Safe From Intruders

Your physical safety isn’t the only thing you should be concerned with when it comes to safely using your smartphone. With the amount of sensitive information people keep on their smartphones, it’s important to know the best ways to protect this information from intruders.

According to Security Response and Medium.com, some of the best things you can do to protect your phone and your sensitive data include keeping your operating system up-to-date, using a password on your device, and being careful when using public Wi-Fi or enabling Bluetooth.

To help you avoid injury or a loss of security when using your smartphone, consider implementing some of the tips mentioned above.
