    I have 3 different color cases for my phone, I alternate cases and wash the ones when not in use to give them enough time to dry.

    I use isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel. It works great!

    You don’t need harsh chemicals. If it’s waterproof, just wash with paper towel with water and hand soap

    This is why I have a terrible habit of ordering a lot of screen protectors lol. I clean with 70% wipes and then the oleophobic coating ends up coming off & I have to put a new protector on 😅. I don’t even wanna know how much in total I’ve spent on screen protectors for just this one phone.

  8. @superboy305

    April 6, 2026 at 9:30 am

    Use the phone soap uv light thing and wipes time to time.

    You do know Alcohol and clorox wipes can remove the oleophobic coating easily, right?

    No, my phone isn’t disgusting.

    Why does Apple Music take up so much space?

    I have no music downloaded yet it’s taking up 8.9 GB of space on my phone.

    • @iyazakhtar

      April 6, 2026 at 5:59 pm

      Try this out: Go to Settings > Apps > Music. Check if the Automatic Downloads setting is active or not. If it’s active, your app would automatically download songs, which could explain things.
