Storing your phone in your pocket may seem convenient, but it comes with hidden risks. According to Dr. Lilly Friedman, radiation levels are two to seven times higher when phones are kept in pockets, increasing the risk of tumor growth making it one of the worst places to keep your phone. Prolonged exposure may also affect male fertility and alter DNA structure. For safety, opt for carrying phones in a purse or holster.
