You NEVER notice the temperature on your phone until it gives you a “too hot” warning in the summer.
But the optical illusion has confused people because it changes the temperature, without actually doing anything.

The video posted by @es_sports123 on TikTok has been seen by more than 18 million people.
Shocking when you consider that it is literally a picture of an air conditioner with noise attached to it.
To try it out, make sure you watch the video on your phone with the volume turned up.
At first glance, the video is unremarkable, but while watching it, your phone will somehow cool down.
It’s like there really is an air conditioner blowing cool air through your device.
Tens of thousands of people were delighted with the video and couldn’t believe what they were feeling and called it the ‘placebo effect’.
One wrote: “THE PLACEBO EFFECT WORKS VERY STRONG.”
Another person commented: “I can feel the air in my hand.”
“The placebo effect makes me nervous,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “HELP MAKE IT ACTUALLY WORK MY PHONE IS STARTING TO COOL.”
“My hands are much colder,” says the fifth.
This video is not a placebo, as Catherine Hallissey, a chartered psychologist, explained to the Mirror: “The placebo effect is traditionally used to describe the phenomenon where a person’s mental or physical health appears to improve after taking a placebo.
“So I wouldn’t define this as an example of the placebo effect; rather, it’s an example of the power of suggestion combined with sensory input designed to simulate the real thing.”
He continued: “The placebo is a well-studied medical phenomenon, not to be confused with this type of experience.”
Meanwhile, another optical illusion reveals whether you’re a lateral thinker or a dreamer, depending on the image you see.
Another incredible optical illusion reveals how easy it is to fool your eyes: how many colors can you see?
And the first thing you see in this optical illusion can reveal whether you’re an introvert or really wild.
