No and every time this comes up I'm having trouble imagining how exactly, physically, could that happen by accident.

I had shorts with pockets that made it feel like the phone was put away, but when I stood up they would catch the phone and tumble out.

A shirt pocket. I've dropped a phone in the toilet twice and in a bathtub once this way - it slipped out of the pocket as I was bending to wash my hands or pick up the toilet cleaning brush.
(I've since then stopped carrying anything in open pockets above the waist.)

Sit on a toilet and hold a phone up near your face (not over the front of the toilet). It’s easy to see in this situation how a slippery phone or sweaty palms could cause the phone to fall down and between your thighs.

Solution: Think some "shower thoughts" during your bathroom break.

Not OP, but just a data point, Only once in my 30+ years of life I have dropped my key ring into a toilet, a squat one, so unrecoverable. Otherwise 20+ years of squat & 10+ years of western toilet use, never ever anything has fallen from my hands or pockets into toilet.
It’s disgusting but I’m not tossing my phone away afterwards, UNLESS IT STOPS WORKING BECAUSE OF WATER FANSGE.
