Used compressed air to clean speaker/mic grills and the back inflated.

Title says it all pretty much.

I was using compressed air to clean the mic grill of my Pixel 4 XL and the rear glass started lifting up/inflating slightly from the frame. I think air was coming out of it. Did this just damage any of the water resistant seals on the phone? The rear glass went back flush with the phone and it doesnt seem as though anything is damaged. I'm just worried that I may have damaged the water resistance seal in the back of the phone.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The phone (or any water proof or water resistant device) is not designed to support a higher air pressure from the insides than the ambient pressure.

It is possible that you damaged the waterproof seal, however, if its any reassurance,the waterproof seal was probably compromised anyway. This happens over time with normal use.
