These Phone Wallpapers Could Help Prevent the Spread of Covid-19

Creative team Renato and Stefania reminds people to wash hands and clean their devices through a series of dedicated wallpapers

The thing people rely on the most to keep in touch with their families, friends and the news about what is going on in the world, can also be the worst source of contagion.​ ​Unbeknownst, the typical mobile user unlocks the phone around 80 times every day and touches the screen 2,617 times, according to Apple and a study by research firm Dscout.

 That’s 80 extra chances of catching COVID-19. To raise awareness about this shocking truth and keep people safe, a London-based creative team – Renato Tata and Stefania Esposito ​– have created a series of temporary wallpapers called ​#AntiCovid19Screensaver​ that could ​help prevent the COVID-19 spreading.​ Or at least, help slow it down.

Every time you touch the screen, the problem is literally highlighted, working as a reminder to wash your hands and disinfect your phone screen, too. Because washing your hands and then handling your full-of-germs phone makes washing your hands pointless in the first place.

The initiative was first launched on Instagram. Using stories, ​Renato and Stefania ​invited their friends to try this experiment. By simply taking a screenshot, everyone could grab the #AntiCovid19Screensaver and set it as a wallpaper reminder on their own devices.​ 

Very quickly, over the week, the ​​#AntiCovid19Screensaver​ started spreading on social media and so far the community has shown much love for the idea. 

This is a creative,​ but foremost, simple and ​useful solution for something so important​ to all of us, these days. The only goal is for people to use it and spread the ​​#AntiCovid19Screensaver instead of the virus. 

Renato and Stefania said: “As creative individuals, we felt the responsibility to do what we can into preventing the spread of COVID-19. Honestly, we didn't expect such a great reaction. But we're so happy people like it, and actually find it useful.”
