2. You carry bacteria on your hands and your phone making washing your hands worthless.
Anytime we visit the toilet we are exposed to lots of harmful germs. Whether we like it or not we carry some of these germs along when we leave the place. We go straight to the tap to wash our hands with soap leaving our phones unwashed then we pick our phones again right from there and infect our body with the germs thereon.

3. You do not concentrate on the purpose of being in the toilet.
As we take our phones along with us to the toilet we engage in various activities such as chatting, making & receiving calls, listening to music etc.
In doing this our attention is taken off from passing the tool and at times we even forget we are on the toilet by shouting to happy chats and singing along when listening to music. This is a bad practice that needs to stop._
