Do you ever use your phone in the bath?

I know it’s stupid but sometimes I do send the odd text or check my emails. It would be so easy to drop it I need to try to resist the urge.

Life proof case. Mine's gone in loads!

ProudPolyGradSingleMum · 05/06/2021 19:18

All the time. The kids got me a wooden thing that goes across with space for my phone and a wine glass.

TheWaif · 05/06/2021 19:19

It wouldn't occur to me to have a bath without my phone.

JeanClaudeVanDammit · 05/06/2021 19:19

All the time. I’ve never dropped it but it’s allegedly waterproof anyway.

Shmithecat2 · 05/06/2021 19:20

Where else does one watch TikTok videos?

HilaryBriss · 05/06/2021 19:26

Never. Why would you need a phone in the bath?

Hellocatshome · 05/06/2021 19:28

All the time, never dropped it.

megletthesecond · 05/06/2021 19:29

Never.
Although I rarely have baths, couple a year.

chaosrabbitland · 05/06/2021 19:30

yes all the time , iv got a oil painting by numbers app that is very relaxing and addictive and i love relaxing and doing a picture whilst soaking

Imapotato · 05/06/2021 19:30

Occasionally, aren’t most phones water proof now anyway?

AllIknowsofar · 05/06/2021 19:34

Well I never knew my phone was waterproof. Just googled and it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes.

Yeah, I MN and fbk

mummyplusbump · 05/06/2021 19:37

Literally just got out of the bath where I was on my phone worrying I would drop it.

PivotPivotPivottt · 05/06/2021 19:39

Every night. I wouldn't enjoy a bath without my phone.

Maybe not in hot water. Check that too.

I only usually have baths when pregnant and I used my phone to listen to hypnosis tracks or audiobooks, so yes I do use it in the bath but hold it over the side onto the floor if I need to adjust volume etc and put it down on a chair next to the bath. I don’t dare hold it over the water

burritofan · 05/06/2021 19:42

Just don’t charge it at the same time

audweb · 05/06/2021 19:45

I have a bath tray I hold it over that so if I drop it it’s not into water. Or I just put a programme on and watch it on that.

I have one too. Which one do you use?

I always have phone in bath OP.

ForgedInFire · 05/06/2021 19:55

Always. But I used to read in the bath and I want to start doing that again instead

Cashewsauce · 05/06/2021 19:55

Pretty much everytime I have a bath, I also enjoy a film on the ipad!

SuperSecretSquirrels · 05/06/2021 20:00

It never occurred to me that I could! Netflix in the bath … game changer!!!!

MN improves my life in small ways every week Grin

MurryFuff · 05/06/2021 20:28

Never .

Sod that .

If I dropped it in the water I would be furious.

Petalbird · 05/06/2021 21:17

All the time it only occasionally goes for a swim which messes with the speaker for a day or two whilst it dries Grin

MrsGulDukat · 05/06/2021 22:43

Nope.

I'd be the twat that dropped it and broke it.

DD would then take the piss for months.
