Dr. Primrose Freestone, a microbiology expert, warns that taking phones to the toilet exposes them to fecal bacteria like E. coli and Pseudomonas. These bacteria can remain on devices despite handwashing. The toilet plume, which can spread bacteria within five feet, poses contamination risks even with closed lids. To mitigate these risks, Freestone advises keeping phones out of bathrooms and regularly sanitizing them with disinfectant wipes, as phone surfaces are likely to harbor dangerous microorganisms.
The phone will at some point get contaminated, so periodically disinfecting your phone is a good idea,
Toilet areas adjacent to toilets, because of the toilet spray trajectory, are pretty contaminated.
