Does your phone get extra smudgy from all the home control apps?

Anybody else find themselves cleaning their phone screen way too often, especially when you’re checking all your smart home apps? I swear I wipe mine almost every time I adjust a light, check a camera feed, or tweak an automation. Maybe it’s because I'm always tapping between apps and the smudges become way too obvious.

It made me wonder if it’s just me or if other people who use their phone as a mini control center also end up cleaning it more than they realize. How often do you wipe yours, especially if you’re constantly using it to manage your setup?

My phone gets filthy way faster ever since my automations moved from wall switches to apps. Between the thermostat, lights, and checking which sensor decided to act up today, the screen basically lives in fingerprint mode. Comes with the territory, I guess.

Most folks who manage their whole setup from the phone end up cleaning the screen more than they expect. Camera feeds, sliders, and light controls all make you tap in the same spots, which shows fingerprints fast. It could help to set up a couple of widgets or voice shortcuts so you are not constantly opening multiple apps. What part of your system makes you pick the phone up the most?
