Eli5: how does your phone have more germs than a toilet seat.
In: 2
Your hand is in contact with more surfaces than your backside.
At least, I hope it is.
Your hands pick up germs from all the surfaces you touch (shelves in the shops, handrails on public transport, public benches, etc) and transfer that to your phone.
Also you probably (hopefully) clean your toilet seat fairly frequently, but how often do you think to wipe down your phone?
