Yes, but avoid heavy use if the phone gets hot while charging.

This answer is focused on the practical result, the safest way to handle it, and what changes to expect afterward.

You can use your phone while it is charging, but heat is the thing to watch, especially at night.

Light use is usually fine with a good charger and cable. Heavy gaming, video calls, or streaming while charging can make the phone warmer.

Do not charge under pillows or blankets, and replace damaged cables or chargers instead of ignoring them.

Yes, but avoid heavy use if the phone gets hot while charging. The best result comes from handling it the right way instead of guessing.
