Can You Really Share Phone Battery Life?

Have you ever been out with friends, and been PANICKED because your phone was dead?  Maybe a better question is:  Have you been in this very common situation yet TODAY?

In a viral TikTok, a woman says she just found out that you can SHARE BATTERY LIFE.  She can charge her phone . . . by hooking it up to one of her FRIEND’S phones.  And she’s shocked that this is possible.

But a lot of people in the comments are saying that this is obvious, and you can always charge devices with other devices . . . like how you can charge your phone or tablet from your laptop.  It also works with watches.

Of course, it isn’t always an option.  She had her charging cable, and it was compatable with her friend’s phone.  Some phones don’t even require one . . . you can just lay one on top of the other.

Also, you need to make sure the phones play nice . . . and that you’re not agreeing to have anything transferred or synched.

But the BIGGEST HURDLE is this:  Unless you’re being VERY devious, your companion needs to AGREE to giving you some of their charge.  Which, might be a bigger ask than you think.

It’s funny how many people in the comments are saying that they would REFUSE draining their battery to “jump” your phone.  One person even said, “Yeah, it’s a NO from me, dawg.”
