iPhone
Find studs before you drill — by spotting the metal already in the wall.
Stud Finder uses your iPhone magnetometer to detect iron nearby: screws, nails, and pipes. It cannot see wood. A stud is where fasteners line up.
Hold the phone parallel to the wall, a finger’s width away. Walk slowly. The needle shows how likely metal is nearby. Calibrate away from the wall, then mark the peak and take it to the drill.
A built-in vertical level helps you hang a shelf or TV straight.
WHAT IT DOES
• Live metal signal while you scan
• Haptic feedback as the signal gets stronger
• Peak marker after you calibrate
• Vertical level for hanging
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• Not an x-ray and not a camera through the wall
• Does not see wooden studs directly — only metal fasteners and pipes
• The needle is a chance of nearby iron, not a guarantee
HOW TO USE
1. Tap Start Scan
2. Hold the phone parallel; don’t scrape the paint
3. Calibrate away from metal
4. Sweep slowly and mark the strongest point
