No idea how this would work in practice but some sort of pattern recognition for what might be a drop of water on the phone screen as opposed to a touch input.
Are you seriously using your phone in the shower? Is that a thing people do?
Mfers will use their phone daily in the bathroom but the second you step in the shower it’s a crime against humanity
Mfers will use their phone daily on the side of the pool but the second you toss it in the deep end it’s a crime against humanity
I hate to break it to you but chlorinated water is far less of a problem than shit and piss
I hope you dont shit and piss in your shower :/
I see you are uninitiated. Let me illuminate you with some wisdom of yore.
You guys don’t wipe your ass with your phone?
Just waffle stomp it that blast it with piss to clear the evidence.
No, that is for the pool.
Well, science, kinda yeah. It is a crime against science.
I think you have a poor grasp of the scientific process
Have you ever met electricity? It and water are like 😲😱
Not sane ones.
It’s an emotional decision not a rational one I admit
I do turn on some music occasionally, and I keep the screen visible to be able to tell the time. But I don’t touch it often while showering, only to reactivate the AOD if it turns off for it not being light enough in the bathroom for its taste.
Holy shit! Can’t you people put down your phone for 15 goddamn minutes?! Just allow yourself to hear your own thoughts without an algorithm leading you.
FIFTEEN MINUTES!
Do you get angry at everything other people do or is this just projection?
Finally, a shower thought about showers
Anyone not able to Livestream themselves in the shower on request from the mods should be banned
Showering so boring these days, I need to doomscroll.
Reason why I listen to music. So relaxing having a hot shower witg a nice tune :)

Hmmmm I still think this problem would persist with non water liquids
Fyi even if your phone is water resistant that doesn’t mean it’s steam resistant
Still working
If i were you I’d put it in a ziplock bag for use in the shower
I think you’re overestimating the risk
wait you take it IN the shower? not just off to the side on the toilet to skip songs or something?
I always bring my phone into the shower, to skip songs if needed or to answer it, if client calls. Been doing that for years, phone is 5 years old, still works fine.
Good thing the phone is going to be cold enough to cause condensation then eh
I’ll remember that in case I drop it into a boiler.
I like how the comments just assume you’re scrolling SM or texting people in the shower but I think it would be rad to not be worried about getting my phone wet so I could use it to listen to music in there. The only other option is to turn voice commands on and start shouting at it over the sound of the shower.
Or even, like, using the thing outside in the rain.
You can get waterproof Bluetooth speakers that are designed to go in the shower for less than £10 in the UK. The sound quality isn’t amazing, but they’re not much different from a phone speaker, especially with the sound of the water 👍
I have a JBL Clip 3 I use in the bathroom when I shower. Sound quality’s pretty good but I just listen to podcasts with it rather than music.
I listen to music in the shower, I’m not sure why this would involve taking the phone into the water?
So I don’t have to have the music so loud
Even just reaching out to touch it while I am wet will make the phone wet. It doesn’t even have to come in with me.
Okay, it’s never occurred to me to do that, fair enough.
I just set a playlist going
Seriously, everyone jumping to the worst possible interpretation, like they’ve never wanted to listen to music or had an audio book they didn’t want to put down.
Struggling to see how it’s different from watching tv while you iron or listen to music while cooking
hop in your washer an dryer with clothes 2 birds 1 stone and your phone scrolls itself from the spinning
If I could wash my clothes while showering with them my life would be changed
just make a tide pod belt an hop in the shower
It might even be… Revolutionary
I kneel
Physically impossible
We would’ve never gotten to the moon with this attitude
I bought a waterproof WiFi speaker for the shower. I listen to a podcast while I shower and my phone sits on the counter far from water. As soon as I get dry, I switch back to earbuds. Works great.
Watched my first YouTube video in the shower the other day, it was about the afd party in Germany. Very informative I didn’t know just how far right wing they were since I don’t speak German and don’t know a lot about their politics.
I think technologically this is something an engineering team should tackle. It would probably benefit people who use touch devices for work in dirty and wet environments as well.
How long do you spend in the shower that you have time to doom scroll? Maybe it’s time to switch to baths if you have a tub. If you don’t, I would boringly suggest just not taking the phone into the shower if you know that the touch sensor will be wonky. It may speed up the shower and lessen your water consumption as a side effect. That’s good for your wallet and the environment. The internet can wait 5-10.
I get the meditative effect of a hot shower after a long day. I enjoy that on occasion as well. At no point did I ever think the experience would be improved by a cell phone with a camera being present.
One thing I think people aren’t quite getting is that showering with my phone isn’t a logical decision, it’s an emotional one lmao.
What emotions are you having that cannot deal with 5-10 minutes of pure bodily hygiene focus?
It’s not exclusive it’s additive, you can spend as long as you want in the shower
I’m not going to press you on an answer about your emotions if you don’t want to tell. You probably have it in you to change your behavior. If the bad touch response is frustrating you, there is probably a time span you can aim for in a shower that will be equally frustrating but without using the phone. Find that time.
Showers can be an incredibly wasteful way of washing. Finding ways to make them longer, especially on the reg, is something to consider avoiding.
I make up for it by being vegan
its for visual assistance with masterbation, i presume.
Some phones do try to detect water droplets
OnePlus did something like this, can’t speak about the effectiveness though
I’d be too paranoid to use my phone in the shower, it’s covered with cameras and microphones and may be full of backdoors as well.
Ive already taken regular photos of myself naked so I don’t think it really matters
Ugh It technically is a thing but it sucks…somehow ads get opened when my finger is hovering but refuses things I touch when I press specific links, or try to move that stupid magnifying window to copy a sentence.
But yes, would be amazing
