Metal Detector & Stud Finder

Metal Detector & Stud Finder turns your phone's built-in magnetic sensor into a metal detector with sound. Find nails and screws in walls, locate studs behind drywall, trace steel pipes and rebar, and check for hidden iron objects. No ads, no tracking, nothing collected.

Move the top of your phone slowly over a wall, floor or the ground. When iron or steel is near, the reading jumps, the gauge turns hot, and the beep speeds up like a real detector. Vibration and flashlight signals work too, so you notice a find even in a noisy room.

WHAT YOU GET
• Metal detector with sound, vibration and flashlight alerts

• Camera detector (Pro): the field gauge over the live camera image
• One-tap Reset to zero out the background field

HONEST ABOUT WHAT A PHONE CAN DO
Your phone detects ferrous metals: iron and steel. Nails, screws, pipes, rebar, tools and wires in walls all show up. Gold, silver, copper, aluminium and brass are not magnetic, so no phone app can detect them — be careful with apps that promise a gold detector. We tell you this up front so you get useful results.

TIPS
• The sensor is usually near the top of the phone
• Remove magnetic cases and card holders
• Draw a figure eight in the air to calibrate
