What is the safest phone for health?

For health safety, the "safest" phone involves minimizing exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy by choosing models with low Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) (like older Samsungs, some ZTEs) but more importantly, using hands-free devices, speakerphone, texting, keeping the phone away from your body, and ensuring strong signals, as these practices reduce exposure more than minor SAR differences. Health authorities like the FDA state current evidence doesn't link cell phones to health problems, but recommend these precautions to lower exposure.

Which cell phone gets hacked the most?

Based on interest, it's likely Android phones get hacked more than iPhones. The two-factor authentication platform Rublon reported that there was 13 times more interest in hacking Android phones than iPhones in 2021.

Which phone has more radiation, iPhone or Samsung?

According to test reports filed with the FCC, without Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, iPhone SARs ranged from 1.09 to 1.19 W/kg as compared to 0.62 to 0.64 W/kg for Galaxy phones (see results below).

Which iPhones are banned for radiation?

Apple iPhone 12, 128GB, Blue - Fully Unlocked (Renewed)

A temporary sales ban that's now spreading across Europe, forcing Apple to deploy a software patch that actually makes your phone work worse. But here's the kicker: this whole controversy stems from a testing quirk, not a real safety issue.

How far away should your phone be when you sleep?

You should keep your phone at least 3 feet (about 1 meter) away from your bed, ideally in another room, to minimize blue light disruption, reduce electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, and avoid late-night scrolling, though the best practice for sleep is keeping it out of the bedroom entirely if possible. Placing it further away limits potential health concerns and helps your brain produce sleep-inducing melatonin.

What is the safest phone to use?

The most secure phones prioritize privacy with features like hardware kill switches, open-source software, and removed tracking, with the Purism Librem 5 (especially the Librem 5 USA for secure supply chains) and phones running GrapheneOS (like Google Pixel phones hardened with GrapheneOS) leading the way for ultimate control, while others like the Murena 2 (de-Googled Android) and UP Phone offer strong privacy by removing Google services and adding tracking blockers. The "most secure" depends on your threat model, balancing deep privacy with app convenience. 

How do you know if your phone is being monitored?

If your phone is being monitored remotely, you might notice your battery draining quickly, spot unfamiliar apps, or your camera, microphone, or location turning on when you're not using them.

Which phone is World No. 1?

There's no single "No. 1" phone, as it depends on criteria (sales, reviews, camera, etc.), but Apple's iPhone 16/17 series and Samsung's Galaxy A/S25 series dominate sales, with the iPhone 16 leading overall best-sellers in Q3 2025. For overall quality, experts often point to the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, or Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, while Huawei and Oppo lead in specific camera tests.
 

How to avoid radiation from cell phones?

To avoid cell phone radiation, increase distance using speakerphone/headsets, reduce usage time, text instead of call, carry the phone away from your body (not in pockets/bras), and use Airplane Mode in low signal areas or at night to lower the phone's power output. Key strategies involve distance, time, and minimizing body contact, especially when the signal is weak.
 

Is it safe to sleep next to a charging iPhone?

Prolonged heat exposure.

For example, don't sleep on a device, power adapter, or wireless charger, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when it's connected to a power source. Keep your iPhone, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging.

How do I check my iPhone radiation?

You can check your iPhone's radiofrequency (RF) exposure, specifically its Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value, by going to Settings > General > Legal & Regulatory > RF Exposure, or by dialing \*#07# in the Phone app and selecting RF Exposure for a link to the data. These methods show how much RF energy your body absorbs, with values listed for head and body exposure, though these are general figures, not real-time levels. 

Are there any phone cases that block radiation?

SafeSleeve Universal Cell Phone Case contains FCC accredited lab tested shielding technology that can block up to 99% of Radio Frequencies (5G, Wi-Fi, cellular, etc.) and up to 92% of ELF (battery, AC power, etc.) cell phone radiation from your phone.

Is it safe to use 5G phones?

There are no scientifically proven adverse health impacts from the exposure to 5G radio frequency radiation with levels below those suggested by the guidelines of regulating bodies, including the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

Which phones have low radiation?

Low radiation phones have lower Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values, measured in W/kg, with brands like Motorola (razr 5G), Sony (Xperia 5 II), LG (V60 ThinQ 5G), and some Samsung models (Galaxy S10 5G) often appearing on lists for low head SAR, though SAR varies by model and usage, so checking manufacturer specs or official lists (like Germany's BfS) for the latest devices is best for finding phones below the 2 W/kg limit.
 

What does ##21 do to your phone?

Dialing ##21# (or sometimes *#21#) on your phone is a USSD code used to check or deactivate unconditional call forwarding, not to detect hacking, though it's often spread as a "secret code" to check for surveillance. It tells your mobile carrier to display if all your calls and texts are being automatically redirected (forwarded) to another number, a setting potentially misused by scammers or hackers. 

Can someone track me on my phone without me knowing?

Yes, someone can track your phone without you knowing through spyware, malicious apps, phishing, or exploiting network data, even with location services off, using methods like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or carrier signals. Warning signs include fast battery drain, unfamiliar apps, or slow performance, but prevention involves strong passwords, app control, regular security checks, and being cautious with downloads and public Wi-Fi. 

What is the code to see if someone is spying on your phone?

Press *#*#4636#*#* or *#*#197328640#*#* to see if anyone is watching your movements. These are Utility Net Monitor Codes. Dialing these codes can tell you if you're being tracked or monitored through your mobile phone.

Which phone gets hacked the most?

Android phones are targeted more by hackers because there are more of them out there, but iPhones are increasingly being targeted, too. iPhones are harder to hack because of their closed development environment, while Android devices are generally easier to hack because of the operating system's open nature.

Which phone has the highest level of security?

There's no single "best," but top contenders for security are the Google Pixel 9 Pro (especially with GrapheneOS) for strong hardware/software integration (Titan M2 chip, updates) and user-focused hardening, Apple iPhones (iOS) for their closed ecosystem and strong built-in features (Lockdown Mode), and specialized devices like the Murena 2 or Bittium Tough Mobile for extreme privacy with hardware switches and de-Googled OSs, catering to different user needs from general users to privacy advocates. 

Are Android phones safer than iPhones?

While both iOS and Android offer strong security, iOS is generally considered more secure due to Apple's closed ecosystem, strict App Store vetting, and consistent, timely software updates across devices, whereas Android's open nature and fragmentation can lead to more malware risks, though Google's Play Protect and user awareness help mitigate threats. Android's flexibility can be a double-edged sword: it allows for greater customization but also presents more avenues for attackers if users aren't careful (e.g., sideloading apps). 

What is the 3 2 1 rule for bedtime?

Three hours before you go to sleep, stop drinking alcohol. Two hours before you go to sleep, stop eating food. One hour before you go to sleep, stop drinking fluids.

How far should you be from your phone to avoid radiation?

Practically speaking - Any part of your body holding the phone or glued right up to next to your cellphone is getting the heaviest dose of exposure. Keep it out of your hands anytime you can and a good 12" away from your face and eyes is a good rule of thumb for "safer" exposure levels.

Is sleeping next to charging a phone bad?

Yes, sleeping next to a charging phone can be bad due to fire/overheating risks (especially under pillows/blankets), battery damage, and sleep disruption from alerts or temptation to use it, though EMF radiation risk is generally low; manufacturers recommend charging on hard, open surfaces away from flammable materials for safety and better rest.
