Studies have found that nine out of ten people experience phantom phone vibrations. It’s suggested that when we keep our phones in our pockets regularly, they become almost like an extension of ourselves. This is similar to wearing glasses for extended periods. When we experience any kind of muscle spasm, a shift in clothing, or any other form of vibration, we instantly assume that it is our phone. This is believed to be because we are much more high-strung these days and are always on the alert, so we don’t miss important texts or notifications.
