TL;DR

NASA warns against taking direct smartphone photos of the solar eclipse as it can damage the phone's sensor, especially when using magnifying lens attachments. Instead, they recommend using eclipse glasses in front of the phone's lenses or filtering the image through them. NASA also advises using a tripod, delayed shutter release time, and practicing with manual controls to capture the eclipse experience safely and effectively.
