Probably two or three times a week, minimum, here.

You guys are cleaning your phones?

Do you have it in a case?
Because if you ever need to take it in to repair, I’m not sure they’ll appreciate having to take your dusty phone out.
It’s not like you could clean the dust inside.
Just by putting your phone in your pocket and walking around, you’re essentially wiping it all around.

I do guys
You?

Yeah. They’re germ magnets, worse than doorknobs. I have a waterproof phone and just wash it when I wash my hands; before that I used alcohol wipes.
Never, unless the screen gets too smudgy. Then I’ll just lick it.
Every time I get home and I know I’ve been touching a lot of stuff (i.e. grocery shopping). I just wipe it down with a napkin and rubbing alcohol.

If it gets dirty from cooking while I’m reading a recipe I’ll run it under the sink real quick. Gets the flour or whatever off it fast.
Practically every day. I take public transportation so when I get home I’ll use a disinfectant wipe on it to kill any germs. It’s a habit that’s stuck with me since the pandemic and it’s just nice to have a clean phone.
I just run mine through the dishwasher once a month.
Physically clean it with like a cloth or clean it as in remove pics and apps and stuff?
The former is what I was specifically referencing…
You mean like open the case and clean the vents and stuff?
I wipe mine down every day. I don’t use a case and I work in a hospital full of germs.
I wipe mine down with isopropyl on a paper towel daily.

What is the best alternative?

It doesn’t damage the screen, but can remove the oleophobic (anti-smudge) coating that most phones come with. It is damaged with use anyway, like a non-stick pan.
It’s okay; I’m only wiping down the case, which has a built-in screen protector. No alcohol is actually touching the screen.

A few times a month with a Clorox wipe. Should honestly do that daily seeing as though I use it in the shitter. Also using it while in public, germy hands then touching the phone - yea, would probably be wise if I Clorox wiped it daily. Oh well!
Maybe twice a month I’ll get that ADD tick to take my case off and deep clean the entire phone, charging port included. That part specifically reminds me of picking belly-button lint.
There’s something strangely satisfying about scraping out a huge ball of fuzz and being able to charge your phone again!
Honestly, once every 3-4 months I take the case out and give it a wipe with the help of isopropyl alcohol. I thought I was dirty, but I’m seeing that I’m one of the cleaner people.
I use a microfibre cloth and wipe down the screen/camera lens every 2 days ish.
Maybe once a month I take off the case and give the full phone a wipe down
Like… Junk data or the actual device?
I have an app to do the first on it’s own whenever junk data gets over a specific size. I clean the actual phone only when stuff gets under the screen protector.
Somewhere around once a month and/or as needed before that.
