Does blowing in the charging port damage it?

Okay, so you’re asking if blowing in your charging port damages it? Honestly? Don’t do it! I mean, really, why would you?! It’s like inviting disaster. I know, I know, it seems like a harmless quick fix when you see some fluff in there, but honestly, you’re probably just shoving it further down into the dark abyss of your phone’s insides. Or worse – think about this – you’re spraying tiny, invisible droplets of spit in there. My breath? Definitely not something I want lurking around my precious phone’s charging port. Yuck.

And, you know what else? I once heard this story – I don’t know if it’s true, but it totally freaked me out – about someone who used one of those little compressed air cans, and a tiny piece of the plastic nozzle broke off inside the port! Talk about a nightmare! Then you’re really in trouble. I mean, how do you even get that out?! So yeah, there are way better ways to clean it. A soft brush? Maybe. Just… not your breath. Seriously. Don’t.
