Magnet to fix OIS iPhone 7 plus

Will attaching a magnet affect your IPhone? OIS is not working on rear-facing camera. I tried the magnet trick and my camera works again! I wasn’t trying to spend $325 to fix the camera as opposed to using a $5 magnet. Just wondering if it will affect anything else.

Thanks

Magsafe accessory question Hi I recently purchased a magnetic pop socket base from amazon that attaches to the back of the iPhone 12 apple case. It sometimes gets lose from the case in my pocket though and the magnet ends up sitting right over the back camera. Is this magnet strong enough to damage the camera/flash etc.?

Magsafe Popsocket affecting camera or speakers? I bought one of those magsafe pop sockets that attached to the back of the apple iPhone 12 pro cases. I noticed that it magnetically attaches to the bottom of the phone (I think its the speaker and haptic engine). Sometimes it doesn't attach fully and it falls lose in my pocket and will stick to the speakers on the bottom of the phone, or to the back camera. Does this damage the speaker or camera/flash at all?
