Hello @Emdabcat7 

Addressing your first question: You need to turn on the water lock setting when you're in water, for example showering or swimming, to prevent the buttons on your tracker from activating. When water lock is on, your screen and buttons are locked. Notifications and alarms still appear on your tracker, but you must unlock your screen to interact with them. Here’s how: To turn on water lock, tap Water Lock > firmly tap your screen twice. To turn off water lock, double-tap your screen again. The water lock turns on automatically when you start a swim in the Exercise app. 
Addressing your second question: you can introduced water into your Inspire 2 and therefore (most likely if not certainly) render the Fitbit damaged and useless. 
But keep in mind even though it may be ok to shower with our water-resistant devices, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your device and may cause skin irritation. We also don’t recommend wearing any of our devices in a hot tub or sauna.
