About 5 thousand bacteria inhabit your hands every time. Therefore, touching hands, both directly with other people's skin and holding objects, can be a means of spreading bacteria.
Mobile is an extension of your hand. Bacteria and germs that are in your hands all day can move to the surface of the cellphone. The bathroom itself is a field of bacteria. Starting from the rinse lever (flush), door handles, tap water, to the toilet seat, all contain bacteria. Holding these objects and then continuing to hold the cellphone while completing "bathroom matters" can move bacteria to your cellphone.
Moreover, when you rinse the toilet, the toilet water will mix with the remaining substances of urine and feces that can be splashed up to 2 meters in all directions. One gram of human waste can contain one trillion germs. The splash of water will evaporate and the bacteria it carries will stick to the surface of the cellphone without you ever knowing it. They can also propagate to your hands even after you wash your hands, because after washing your hands you will definitely be holding your cellphone again. Imagine how many bacteria you carry from cellphones to join bacteria that have stayed in hand for a long time?
