Hello,


Using your phone while charging draws power from the battery to power the screen and other components. The competition between the usage and battery charger supplying charges causes your battery to overheat which will damage it in the long run.


But if you really have to, I would advise to have it at least 50%.


I hope this helps :)

Thanks, EpicX
