Yes, it is generally safe to use your phone while it is charging. In fact, it is safe to use your phone at any time, as long as you are not using it in a way that is likely to cause damage. For example, you should not use your phone while it is in the process of charging if you are using it to charge other devices, as this can be dangerous. However, if you are simply using your phone as you normally would while it is charging, there is no problem with doing so.

Here are a few more things to consider when using your phone while it is charging:

Make sure that you are using a high-quality charger and charging cable. Cheap or poorly made chargers and cables can be prone to overheating or malfunction, which can be dangerous.

Avoid using your phone while it is charging if it is hot to the touch, as this could indicate that the battery is overheating.

Don't leave your phone charging overnight or for extended periods of time. It is generally best to charge your phone when it is at or below 20% battery, and to remove it from the charger once it is fully charged.

Be mindful of your phone's charging speed. If your phone is charging unusually slowly or quickly, or if the charger or phone itself feels hot to the touch, unplug it and have it checked out by a professional.

Avoid using your phone while it is charging if it is in a case that is prone to overheating. For example, if you are using a case that is made of metal or has a lot of decorative elements, it could cause your phone to heat up more than normal.

Avoid using your phone while it is charging in a way that could cause damage to the charging port. For example, don't plug your phone in and then move it around vigorously, as this could cause the charging port to become damaged.

Don't use your phone while it is charging if it is connected to a computer or other device that could potentially transfer a virus to your phone.

If you are using your phone while it is charging and it starts to feel hot, unplug it and give it a chance to cool down before continuing to use it.

Avoid using your phone while it is charging if you are in an area with a lot of dust, dirt, or other debris that could potentially get into the charging port.

Avoid using your phone while it is charging if you are in a humid environment, as this could cause the phone to malfunction.

Avoid using your phone while it is charging if you are near water or other liquids, as this could be dangerous.

Be mindful of your phone's charging speed. If your phone is charging unusually slowly or quickly, or if the charger or phone itself feels hot to the touch, unplug it and have it checked out by a professional.

If you are using your phone while it is charging and you notice any unusual behavior, such as the phone turning off or on by itself, or the charger or phone feeling hot to the touch, unplug it and have it checked out by a professional.

Use a high-quality charger and charging cable to minimize the risk of overheating or malfunction.

Overall, as long as you use your phone and charger responsibly, it is safe to use your phone while it is charging.

Again, as long as you use your phone and charger responsibly, it is generally safe to use your phone while it is charging.
