Apple's MagSafe magnetic ecosystem, introduced with the iPhone 12 in 2020, has become a defining feature of the iPhone, but it remains rare on Android devices, with only a handful of models such as Google's Pixel range and the HMD Skyline offering built-in magnets. The article explains that Android users need not miss out, as two straightforward methods can make most Android phones compatible with the wide range of MagSafe accessories, including wallets, car mounts and chargers.

The first option is a phone case with built-in magnets, sold officially by manufacturers such as Samsung and OnePlus, or by cheaper third-party brands, which slot the phone into place ready for magnetic accessories. The second is a magnetic ring attachment, such as the ESR MagSafe Sticker with over 12,500 Amazon reviews, which sticks onto an existing case using 3M adhesive rather than directly onto the phone. Wireless charging compatibility is needed for charging-related accessories, though items like magnetic wallets and PopSockets will work regardless, and users are advised to check the magnetic hold is strong enough before trusting accessories such as car mounts.
