Not sure if it convinces anyone but my reason is that I start becoming conscious of my ears being squished on the smartphone surface and it starts paining 2 mins later. Slightly lifting the phone up makes the audio worse. So I put it on speaker and do this if I can’t find a headphone or earphones.

I do this when I’m on the phone and alone. Or I set my phone on my tits. But only when I am isolated. I don’t want to bother people with my phone on speaker.
If it’s loud enough, I’ll put my phone on speaker and still hold it normally, because the regular speaker on my phone fucking sucks and I can never hear shit.
Same on my note 9
I knew there was a reason I loved them 💖
I always think it’s funny seeing people driving holding their phone like a pop tart.
It’s not hands free just because it’s on speaker phone.
Imagine meeting the love of your life and then finding out they talk on the phone

Imagine meeting the phone of your dreams and caressing it lovingly and leaking bodily fluids…
This voids the warranty, unfortunately
That’s how you get a bloated battery STD …
Damn, that reminds me, I should replace my own battery soon. How do you replace human batteries though? 🤔
Idk, I’ve been running on emergency auxiliary power, even diverting power from life support, for years now. Lights are getting dimmer now.
Obviously I lack a built-in charging capability, so taking the batteries out just means shutting down before replacing them with new ones.
But others are suggesting cocaine. It supposedly boosts you lithium ions (I assume), and also postpones the memory effect of, em, li-ion batteries.
If you’re running on auxiliary power, you should eat the phone by now and conserve your calories. Make sure to boil your urine though. Stay safe, if you need assistance you can always call [redacted].

Baby don’t hurt me…
Don’t hurt me, no more
Imagine there’s no rest of the sentence. Then who was phone???
Oh my god bear was phone! How can that be?
God I wish. I hate having novel length text conversations. Texting for one off quick or cute sentences. Telephone for detailed conversation.
Voice messages live somewhere in the middle there.
My voice mailbox is full and a refuse to empty it. If you want to leave me a message, send me a text.
Voice message, not voicemail. It’s like a text message but with your voice.
Ahhh those. Yeah I’m fine with those. Text me the voicemail lol
I’m not sure why but I dislike voice messages. Either text or just call
Yeah I’m not typing out a long ass text message.
Then you should call because I’m not listening to your voice message
No you should listen to my voice message because I’m not calling 😀
I’m sorry but not happening, hope it wasn’t important
What’s wrong with this, exactly?
Usually because the other person is on speaker, and having a conversation on speakerphone while others are around that aren’t on said call with you is seen as being rude to a lot of folks
But there’s no one around him.
You just insulted the camera man. :D
I think it’s cuz of speaker phone
And what’s wrong with speaker phone?
Feeling personally attacked I see. Well since you are completely oblivious, it’s rude and annoying, no one wants to hear your conversation. Use the phone like a normal person.

Uhhhh nope, you just made that up.

Pretty sure the person on the phone with me wants to hear the conversation…
If you’re referring to being in a crowd of people, I understand, but that’s not what’s happening in the photo.
This entire post is about using speaker phone in public. You just want to argue about semantics to be a contrarian. So I’ll just stop responding to you now, thanks.
There’s literally nothing about the OP to indicate anything about being in public.
Ahem. Its on speaker. Technically its ‘our’ conversation and you are a part of this too.
Nothing, as long as you’re not out in public while doing it. I don’t want to hear your conversation.
So every person I see talking like this seems to do it at twice the volume than if they put it to their ear, and then you get the added bonus of listening to the other idiot on the call as well, again, at twice the volume that it needs to be.
It seems more like performative art than a phone call at that point.

Oh bro, we’re on speaker baby. You in the conversation too.
Man bun and v-neck weren’t helping the case.

I like man buns! You better let me braid it once in a while though, while in an ADHD fuelled craze. V-necks though… never cared for the style, but you do you?
It’s not even about style for me, my neck is just sensitive sometimes and the v style bothers me less usually.
Damn. Are the cishets still going on about gatekeeping man buns and v-necks? I thought that tiresome rhetoric died off around 2010.
You have to insult people who have different head string and body fabric than you do. How else can you feel validated about your choice of head string and body fabric??
We’re still calling everything gatekeeping? Surprised you didn’t call them a grifter
deleted by creator
I’m talking about overusing meme terms. Everything was gatekeeping for a while. Now everyone is a grifter. Even when it doesn’t fit. What’s a cishet?
I feel personally attacked
As well you should.
deleted by creator
This was a valid criticism in like, 2016
… and in a particular culture, and for people who care about what others think
It’s only valid because it worked and people were beaten to submission.
Laughs in man bun

I’m pleased I don’t know anyone who’s this shallow

Well, talking like this keeps the phone from radiating into the head from zero distance and angling it in this way puts your mouth closer to the microphone, so if it’s over, I say, "Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. "
Neither of those things provide a measurable or meaningful improvement to anything. The phone is designed to be directly against one’s head within allowable safe levels of radiation. And the microphone/audio processing is designed to pickup sound from the standard phone position.
I’d say ‘you do you’…but actually, you shouldn’t.
And it’s too bad that everything you just typed is wrong.
I do this a lot (not in public) because it’s way too easy to hang up with your ear and it fatigues my arm after like half an hour. It’s fine as long as you don’t shout into the phone.
Means you have a broken phone - they have sensor that turn off the screen when you’re talking to someone and it’s next to your ear. It shouldn’t happen to you.
you’ve obviously never bought a budget android phone. I haven’t had a single phone where that works out of the box
I’m quite literally using a budget android phone where it works perfectly.
oh no you beat me
I have a brand new iPhone
Hal… Half an hour?
That’s like almost thirty entire* minutes strung together. Jesus Christ how???
I have to do this when my grandma calls. Not because I have loudspeaker mode on, but because SHE has, but still talks with it against her face so she comes out extremely loudly on my end.
You know you can lower the volume right?
That’s how loud their grandma is , they had it on silent.
Grandma yells loud enough, you can hear her without the phone. The call is just so she can hear you back. But barely so you also have to yell.
Yep.
I like doing this. I know they can’t hear me better but it feels like it makes sense you know? It gives me a peace of mind when talking on the phone, even if many times I still need to put it to my ears
How does it feel like it makes sense? Maybe it is because I was alive before cell phones but one side is for your ear and the other is for your voice. Doing this requires you to be on speaker phone which is super annoying in public.
Believe it or not, jail.
