-
Can I use my phone as scale?
A phone cannot function as a true weight scale without external hardware designed to measure force. Built-in sensors are not intended to capture load like a scale's load cell or mechanical beam. Apps that estimate weight using cameras or indirect proxies are not reliable for actual measurements. For accurate results, use a dedicated scale on a hard, level surface under consistent conditions. External accessories may transmit readings to phones, but the weighing occurs in the accessory itself.
-
Is there a scale that measures height?
A stadiometer is the standard device used to measure standing height accurately. It includes a vertical column, a movable headpiece, and graduated markings in centimeters or inches. Accurate posture and level placement are essential for reliable readings. For infants, a recumbent measuring board called an infantometer is used. Recording units consistently helps avoid confusion across measurements.
