Charging a phone under your pillow can pose fire hazards and overheating risks.
Furthermore, if the charging cable gets damaged or faulty, the risk of electrical short-circuiting increases, further enhancing fire risks.
Charging your phone under a pillow obstructs airflow and can cause the phone to overheat, potentially leading to fire hazards. The materials in pillows can easily trap heat, and if a phone overheats, it can ignite nearby flammable substances. Furthermore, if the charging cable gets damaged or faulty, the risk of electrical short-circuiting increases, further enhancing fire risks.
It is recommended to charge your phone on a hard surface where proper ventilation is ensured. Keeping the phone away from soft surfaces also helps prevent damage to the device itself and maintains safety while it charges.
