I'm curious if it's okay to use my phone while it's plugged in. I mainly just want to browse the internet and scroll through social media. My battery is currently at 80% capacity, and I want to make sure I'm not damaging it, especially if the phone doesn't heat up during use.

Yeah, it’s generally fine to use your phone while it’s charging. It's not the best practice, but you won’t damage the battery as long as you keep it cool.

Not an issue at all! Your phone will prioritize using the power it needs for running apps first, and whatever's left goes to charging the battery.

Absolutely okay to browse while charging! Just make sure it doesn’t overheat. The key component that affects battery life is heat, so if your phone is cool, you’ve got nothing to worry about.

There can be some risks. Using the phone while it charges can generate extra heat, which isn’t great for battery health over time. But if your phone stays cool, you should be fine, especially at 80% capacity. No significant threats to your battery from casual use!
