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.
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.
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.
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
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?
Like…in the water? Did you mean a water shower?
Nah the other kind of shower mate
How many baby showers you going to? Damn.
Meteor or golden? I hate to nag, but the preparations of either one differ a little.
Are you seriously using your phone in the shower? Is that a thing people do?
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.
Not sane ones.
It’s an emotional decision not a rational one I admit
Mfers will use their phone daily in the bathroom but the second you step in the shower it’s a crime against humanity
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 😲😱
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?
No, that is for the pool.
Showering so boring these days, I need to doomscroll.
Finally, a shower thought about showers
Anyone not able to Livestream themselves in the shower on request from the mods should be banned
Fyi even if your phone is water resistant that doesn’t mean it’s steam resistant
Still working
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.
If i were you I’d put it in a ziplock bag for use in the shower
I think you’re overestimating the risk
I’ll remember that in case I drop it into a boiler.
Good thing the phone is going to be cold enough to cause condensation then eh
How about instead of that we tackle the problem by the source? Taking showers is so last century.
Dry cleaning for humans. Boom! Problem solved!
Hmmmm I still think this problem would persist with non water liquids
OnePlus did something like this, can’t speak about the effectiveness though
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
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.
Physically impossible
We would’ve never gotten to the moon with this attitude
Some phones do try to detect water droplets
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
