Phone manufacturers are pretty direct in their guidance on this one.

      I have brought my phone into the bathroom (not shower) exactly twice, in my entire life… and both times it was because I was expecting a vitally important call, and could not wait for the call to come before getting in the shower.

      I can not imagine the necessity of regularly taking your phone into the goddamn shower itself

        You take it out of your pants pocket before entering the bathroom?

            I don’t either but I often use the bathroom after coming back home from outside, and the phone is still in my pocket at least then.
