Answer 1

Just think of all the places you take your phone (including the washroom!) and all the opportunities for it to pick up bacteria along the way. Unless you wash your hands constantly all day, every time you touch something and then pick up your phone is an opportunity for more bacteria to transfer onto your phone.
