Looking at the solar eclipse with a phone, rather than glasses or filters?

Question by : Looking at the solar eclipse with a phone, rather than glasses or filters?
Will it be safe to look at the upcoming solar eclipse with a camera phone? I don't have any of the needed stuff cause it's only a one time thing for this year.
Thanks, I'm an ametuer astronomer, so I know what and what not to do. Was just curious about the phone dilemma. Guess I won't be doing it now, since it is capable to damage my phone.


Best answer:
Answer by CirricHi. Do you mean pointing the phone at the eclipse? That could still be unsafe if you can see the Sun past the phone. Watching a link? Perfectly safe.
