Which of the following smartphone charging facts is actually a myth? Is it … A.) Charging your phone overnight damages its battery, B.) Using your phone while it’s charging can make it explode, C.) Charging only when it reaches 0% extends your battery life, or D.) You should only use the charger that came with your phone?

The answer: A.) Charging your phone overnight damages its battery. Today’s smartphones are designed with charging tech that prevents them from overcharging. Once the battery reaches 100%, the charging circuit is cut off, so leaving your phone plugged in overnight really doesn’t affect the battery’s lifespan.
