The back of the iPhone SE (and all the other iPhones with a smooth glass back) has a tendency to move a little if they are placed on a smooth surface that is not perfectly level.


The same can happen with wireless charging - that's why I asked. It may not be so relevant anymore, but some of the first wireless chargers I used caused my iPhone to move and eventually "fall off" the charging pad. Partly because the Wireless Charging plate is physically moving inside, and because the back of the phone was smooth.


Each also aware that when the phone vibrates, it can also move on the right surface.


You can deactivate vibration for calls and SMS here:

Settings > Sounds & Haptics


You can also remove all vibration here:

Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then turn off Vibration



Best advice, leave your phone somewhere else. Or put a cover on, possible an original from Apple:

iPhone Cases & Protection - iPhone Accessories - Apple
