Do You Have a Phone Pinky?

A “phone pinky” is a dent caused by too much stress on your joint.

If you look at your pinky finger, you might have what people on TikTok are calling a “phone pinky”—a dent caused by too much stress on your joint. This happens when the bottom of your phone rests on your pinky while your other fingers wrap around it for support. According to physical therapists, this condition is similar to other posture-related issues, like wrist and neck pain, that occur when you stay in one position for too long. With screen times reaching up to 10 or 15 hours a day, it’s no wonder we’re getting dents in our fingers!
