Here are a few quick guidelines to follow if you're wondering how to photograph the celestial spectacle with your smartphone. However, before snapping that picture-perfect picture, remember that you should never gaze straight at the sun without a solar screen.
Don't zoom in
Over the last few years, smartphone manufacturers have started to add numerous lenses to their products. Despite the light and distance from the subject, these lenses enable users to get the finest possible photographs. Use the telephoto lens on your smartphone to obtain the greatest close-up and avoid the grains when photographing the solar eclipse.

Use a protective film
When aiming your smartphone camera straight at the sun, it is always advised to apply a protective film or UV filter since X-rays from the solar eclipse might harm the sensor. The coating serves as additional protection and prevents overexposure and damage to the sensor.
Use a tripod
It is generally advised to utilise a tripod while recording any celestial event with your smartphone in order to achieve the desired results. The use of a tripod ensures that the pictures are steady and clear. Additionally, it permits experimentation with the shutter speed without concern about stability.
Adjust the exposure
All smartphone cameras have options for exposure management. The quantity of light in your photographs may be changed by altering the exposure. In plain terms, it lets you adjust an image's brightness. Depending on the image you want to take, you may change the exposure. You may alter the exposure setting today to enhance or dim the brightness of the sun in your photograph in order to accurately catch the eclipse.
Wear proper glasses
Buy certified eclipse glasses or wear binoculars to safeguard your eyes from harmful rays while taking shots.
