I also often just wash the phone while washing my hands
I did that often around covid, water got in the supposedly IP68 water resistance anyways after doing that for a few months.
I’d consider their claims to be exaggerated.
If theu say its “water submersible” treat it as just protection against light splashes, if its just “water repellant”, don’t trust that near water at all. Expect less than their claims.
Absolutely, I don’t want to worry about water damage, I also often just wash the phone while washing my hands, especially during flu-season.

If you used soap, that could be why. Soap can deteriorate the rubber gaskets and adhesives that keep the ingress protection together.
Yeaah, but what good is washing something without soap? (Germs aren’t gonna come off)
Nowadays I just try to use alcohol wipes instead
