Stop Shaking Your Phone! It Doesn't Fix Anything & Can Cause Damage

• Shaking your phone does not directly improve network, internet speed, or fix app hangs; these are often software issues or related to external factors.
• Any perceived improvement in signal after shaking is usually due to a change in your location or the phone's antenna angle, not the physical act of shaking.
• Modern smartphones are sealed, solid-state devices, unlike older phones where shaking might have temporarily fixed loose contacts.
• While some apps use "shake to undo" features, this is app-specific and not a universal solution for phone problems.
• Vigorously shaking your phone can damage internal components like the camera's OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), loosen connectors, and weaken water-resistant seals.

Why It Matters: Shaking your phone is ineffective for fixing issues and can cause serious internal damage.
