Does it damage a mobile to leave on charge overnight--thus possibly overcharging it or is it ok to have it left on charge when 100 % charge achieved,?

Even though the charging current drops as the battery approaches full charge, the phone will still draw a few mA to hold it at 100% & that will damage the battery.
