A sun visor life hack is getting a lot of attention on social media.
With a mask, this becomes a smartphone holder.
A large number of useful assistance systems are installed in modern cars, which make driving a lot more pleasant.
If it weren't for the possibly bored co-driver, who can easily become a nuisance on long car journeys.
But this problem can be easily solved with a life hack.
The idea is as ingenious as it is simple.
All it takes is a standard mask, a smartphone with a case and the sun visor of the car, as the Instagram user
"AboutMalte"
demonstrates in a reel.
But how does the life hack work?
With the surgical mask, the sun visor becomes a practical mobile phone holder.

The mask is attached to the side of the sun visor with ribbons.
The mobile phone case is then pushed in between and the smartphone is reinserted.
The mask is thus converted from corona protection into a mobile phone holder and the passenger can comfortably watch films or videos.
With a similar idea, mother from the USA had already provided overseers in 2021.
Instead of a mask, she used a food storage bag to strap a tray to the back seat of her car to keep her daughter busy.
The woman received a lot of criticism on TikTok.
Another TikToker shows how to clean the floor mat in the car using a life hack.

But there is also a critical voice under the video: "Sorry but ... does that have to?" Some users also have doubts that the life hack also works while driving.
"A bump and the cell phone takes off," writes a user on Facebook.
"Tips should help, not waste time," adds another user.
What is certain, however, is that the life hack should only be used by the passenger and even then the smartphone could become a distraction for the driver.
A user therefore has a very hot tip: "Old school chatting with your girlfriend ... Then even 900 km will fly by!"
