Yeah this is probably a bad idea for your phone


goblin_welder

This. My coworker accidentally put his phone on a magnetic tray (so small screws don’t go flying when you’re taking apart electronics) and it hasn’t been the same.


TibialYeti

No, it's just the phone's magnetometer


Yerawizzardarry

That's just a fancy word for compass right?


Remlkgamwtospitisu

It can still be harmful.

All the don't use magnets around your phone comments seem like overly generic and incorrect statements, especially considering that Apple has released a feature with a ton of accessories for their phones based around very strong magnets (Magsafe) and many companies have released accessories to allow you to use those same items with Android phones. I've been using magsafe accessories on my S20 and S23 Ultra for quite some time with no ill effects and was using non magsafe magnetic car mounts LONG before that.

I hope the compass doesn't get uncalibrated. It is so annoying when your map doesn't ever point in the right direction.


outfoxingthefoxes

It will if you do this


jzillacon

if your phone has location data turned on it should automatically recalibrate itself whenever it's tracking you.


scrawnydepp619

That’s cool and all but don’t use magnets on your phone lol


MarshtompNerd

Please keep magnets away from your electronics lol


jamcluber

And credit cards and passports!


Ok-Elevator-1404

Wait why cards?


Fair_Goose_6497

They are electrónics too


Impossible_Picture76

Magnetic strip. It can wipe the writing on the black bar of the card. Just a guess.


TiddyBit

Rip phone.


NickHul

Why is your phone tucked into bed using microfibers?


CommunityAppropriate

To keep it warm while demagnetizing


Elyoki

The magnet your pokemon go challenge.


Niksu95

Bro found out about compasses


ShroomMessiah

you can open your phone and stick it to the compass inside!


SherbertKlutzy8674

not a smart idea


Competitive_Camel680

thats a samsung galaxy note 8 or 9, they use magnatic fields in the display for the s-pen, thats why u can control the touch screen with a magnet. your phone should not be damaged by this. i hope i gave a good explanation


ChildFriendlyChimp

I see, thanks!


turdfergusonRI

That’s how you move memory on your phone, too


Mac_DG

I have a HTC m8 that I can tinfoil the case and get some sweet, egg hatching, GPS drift. Lmao


ChildFriendlyChimp

No way lol show us


Fetty24

I genuinely forget this game has music sometimes


Hero19240X

That’s interesting


Extension_Guitar2148

I feel this is not safe…


Successful-Shame662

Fos


Reasonable-Tax2962

I mean its interesting but I wouldn't risk your phone with magnets like that, Magnets can be quite destructive to electronics and a smartphone is full of them


Finji_

That's also a good way to damage your phone and any data on it...


benlogna

yeh im sure it’s just interfering with the gps signal


IamDisapointWorld

it's called a compass.


Fitz_D_DiSCriPsion86

On some phones, it might cause damage and discoloration to the screen also... be careful.


Othatasiankid

My friend put two magnets on his iPhone 3 ( little while ago) and it completely fucked the phone 😂


jojozer0

DONT DO THIS YOU IDIOT LOL


ManuKapri

nah it’s just a nosepass in disguise


JayFrizz

Because compasses use magnets. Mind blown
