Probably two or three times a week, minimum, here.

You guys are cleaning your phones?
Yeah. They’re germ magnets, worse than doorknobs. I have a waterproof phone and just wash it when I wash my hands; before that I used alcohol wipes.
Never, unless the screen gets too smudgy. Then I’ll just lick it.
Like… Junk data or the actual device?
I have an app to do the first on it’s own whenever junk data gets over a specific size. I clean the actual phone only when stuff gets under the screen protector.
I wipe mine down with isopropyl on a paper towel daily.

It doesn’t damage the screen, but can remove the oleophobic (anti-smudge) coating that most phones come with. It is damaged with use anyway, like a non-stick pan.
What is the best alternative?

It’s okay; I’m only wiping down the case, which has a built-in screen protector. No alcohol is actually touching the screen.

Practically every day. I take public transportation so when I get home I’ll use a disinfectant wipe on it to kill any germs. It’s a habit that’s stuck with me since the pandemic and it’s just nice to have a clean phone.
At random times, honestly. Usually when I am bored and get the phone out of the case just to see how dirty the sides and back are. Along with that, I clean the display as well, though with only a fiber clothing.
Physically clean it with like a cloth or clean it as in remove pics and apps and stuff?
The former is what I was specifically referencing…
never
I just give mine a good lickdown before bed every night.
Every time it’s been outside the house, or as needed (fingerprints etc). I use alcohol-based disinfectant on a piece of soft paper towel.
I wipe mine down every day. I don’t use a case and I work in a hospital full of germs.
If it gets dirty from cooking while I’m reading a recipe I’ll run it under the sink real quick. Gets the flour or whatever off it fast.
Pretty much the same here, but ever since phones became waterproof, I started giving my phone (case and all) a washdown with dishwashing soap
I clean the screen with a microfibre cloth every day. Take it out of the case and clean it maybe once a week, if I remember to do it.
Yeah, mine comes out of the case maybe twice a month… Microfiber cloth and alcohol on the screen and back and sides of the case much more often.
I will do a full clean prolly once a month when I’m bored at work. Otherwise I hit it with a microfiber every couple days to keep the screan clear.
