There are many myths and rumours about smartphones that are spread among people. Today we are going to make you aware of the truth behind them.

There are many rumors about smartphones and other gadgets on social media and in everyday life. Many people believe that the phone charges faster in airplane mode, while some believe that keeping the phone's dead battery in the freezer fixes it. Many of you must have heard such rumors or tried them. Today, we are going to tell you about some such rumors and the truth behind them.

Does the battery charge faster in airplane mode?

This is not true. Although the phone stops searching for a signal in airplane mode, it does not affect the charging speed of the battery. To charge the phone fast and safely, it is necessary to have a compatible charger and cable. Yes, by turning off the phone, the background processes running in it stop, and it can charge a little faster.

Does closing background apps save battery?

This is completely wrong, in fact, the opposite happens. Actually, if you do not close the background apps on the phone, the battery will last longer. Closing and reopening apps repeatedly consumes more battery. By closing and opening the app, it gets reloaded in the RAM, which consumes more battery.

Does keeping wet devices in rice fix it?

Many people believe that keeping wet smartphones or other devices in rice will remove their moisture. In fact, rice is not a strong drying agent. It only slowly absorbs the moisture from the surface, but it releases particles that can damage the charging or other ports.

Do bad batteries get fixed in the freezer?

If the battery starts charging slowly or overheating, some people put it in the freezer. They believe that doing so can fix the battery. This is completely a rumour. Nowadays most phones come with lithium-ion batteries and these batteries are not designed for very cold or very hot temperatures. Keeping them in the freezer slows down their chemical reactions, which reduces the life of the battery.
