I don’t understand the people who say that they use their phones in the shower. I can’t even change songs on my phone if it gets water on it because the touch screen gets buggy. Also, what do you even do on your phone in the shower? It’s not a hands-off activity.
I hold my phone in one hand, out of the stream of water, and browse RedditLemmy, Twitter, YouTube, whatever I feel like browsing. During this time, I’m not cleaning myself, I’m just standing, enjoying the hot water, and reading whatever I’m reading.
With that said, I’ve stopped doing this because it’s a huge waste of water and money.
I find a bath less refreshing and also more likely to make me sweat and feel uncomfortably warm. I can take a pretty hot shower and still not have those problems.
I basically solved it by no longer taking my phone into the shower.
I usually listen to a podcast in the shower - bought a cheap shower phone holder on Amazon. Sometimes I browse ~reddit~ Lemmy in the shower - phone is just held in front of me a bit to keep it out of the water, works fine.
I sometimes listen to music or watch videos in the shower. I double-bag it in clear plastic bags, and then put it in a safe location. When I change songs or videos, I can interact with the screen like normal. Maybe it’s just my phone or the plastic bags I use–maybe both?
I use something like below, minus the ziplock:
I suppose there are actual products meant for making phones more waterproof in these situations, but I didn’t bother looking for those.
Watching videos isn’t that weird. I tend to try to rush showers and wouldn’t be able to watch my phone while doing 90% of my washing, but it’s not that crazy. I’ve always used a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music in the shower. It’s much easier and doesn’t require me touching my phone.

Bruh just take a bath
I’m good, baths suck.
why not take a bath? you won’t waste as much water as a fully running shower.

The hell
I put on a YouTube video and listen like a podcast. Mostly because it acts like a timer because I’ll spend way too long in there
