The smartphone has become an integral part of life today. All activities, work, communication, and entertainment somehow find their way into the device one holds in one's hands. But recently, it has also turned out that this is a developing disease: for quite a long period, some people have made their social media accounts public to complain that their pinky finger bends slightly downwards due to constantly holding smartphones in their hands. At the same time, one question that all have is-did they have any legitimate cause for concern? Or is this just hype?

What Is Smartphone Pinky?
Smartphone Pinky is when one places the phone's bottom on the little finger and holds it this way within a specified period of time, after which one may feel some pressure, pain, or inclination on the finger. Medical authorities have affirmed that this disorder does not tend to last long; however, prolonged incorrect grip inevitably creates a poor pinky finger, hence discomfort.
Due to the growing fame of large-sized smartphones, people are now handling their phones with one hand; thus, they experience increased pronbove the joints and muscles of the hand. Higher risks are posed to such people who spend hours scrolling social media, watching videos, or playing a game. This puts strain on the muscles of their hands, creates a tingling sensation in the fingers, and sometimes the wrist is painful as well.
Notably, the good news is that this problem can be controlled entirely. Some experts provide the following recommendations:
Use a Phone Holder
Using popsockets or a ring holder on your phone makes it easier, thus decreasing strain on the hand.
Change Hands Frequently
Instead of one hand using the phone all the time, let both hands take turns.
Take Breaks
Stretch your fingers and hands between phone usages-these reduce muscle tension.

Cautiously Handling the Big Phones
Handling larger phones carries much pressure, so caution will help the user minimize risks.
Thus, Smartphone Pinky is that increasingly real problem, but not to be scared of. No panic: just correct holding methods and regular breaprotectotection matters.
