Will the magnetic clasp in my new purse harm my iPhone?

Just got a new purse. Will the magnetic clasp affect my iPhone? The phone would not touch the magnet but would be in a pocket on the outside. Thanks for the help!

iPhone 5c, iOS 7.0.1

No, magnets won't harm the phone. But you will have to recalibrate the compass frequently if you want to use it.
