A warning has been issued to iPhone users who bring their smartphones in the bathroom while showering. A woman named Andi made a disturbing discovery after removing her iPhone case. 'A little PSA,' she said in a TikTok video. 'I usually take this phone for the shower to listen to music while I'm taking a shower.'.

Without saying much more, Andi held up a rosy-pink, leathery empty phone case speckled with black mold. Leaving your iPhone in a bathroom to shower can lead to mold growth on the case due to the high humidity from the steam, which creates a perfect environment for mold to thrive.
Not only can fungus grow inside the case, but users have found steam also damages the device's internal hardware, even if it is water-resistant. Viewers of Andi's video had mixed feelings about her discovery with some saying she wasn't ever cleaning the case, while others said they needed to check their own iPhone case 'right now.'.
One commenter shared: 'Do u drop it? Because I have the same case and never had that happen to me in all the years.'. A woman has shared a 'PSA' about taking your iPhone into the bathroom while showering. Andi shared the 15-second video on TikTok, where she appeared baffled by the mold inside her case.
A commenter on Andi's video wrote: 'I think your bathroom may have some ventilation issues you should get checked out.'. 'My phone has never gotten that dirty even without proper full-on cleaning, so Idk what you be doing to it,' another shared. But Andi is not the only Apple user who has experienced the issue.
