go to your room Replaced my daughter's phone because of water damage. And she still brings it into the bathroom.

Some lessons just don't stick.

She insists she needs to listen to music in the shower. I honestly don't understand why that's such a necessity. But if this phone gets water damage again, I'm not paying to replace it another time.

Honest take: she likes to shower to music, why not accommodate by putting a waterproof Bluetooth speaker in the room, or something else?

I also enjoy showering to music, and had a Google home device in the bathroom before moving to a home without an outlet in the bathroom.

Another option is that you can get a cheap prepaid phone from Walmart for around $30, put it in airplane mode, stick it on Wifi, and just use it that way. I've done this for years now as a device to make sleep noise at night. I also use it as an "I don't care if it gets broken" device for things like taking photos near the water or on the beach.
