Imagine your phone is like a hungry kid who wants to eat candy. When you give them a snack (like charging), they get excited and start running around the house, using up all their energy at once, even though they're getting more snacks. That’s what happens inside your phone: it uses battery power while charging because it's busy working hard in the background.
Examples
- Your phone keeps checking for new messages and updates even when you're charging it.
- You're watching a video, but your phone's battery isn't increasing because it's using energy at the same time.
- When you charge your phone at night, it uses power to update apps in the background.
