Burn you at the stake for witchcraft.
If you have a smart phone and go back to 1900, you better hide that **** but since we're so used to looking at our phone without even thinking about it, I'd probably pull it out by accident and get killed.

This. Put your phone on airplane mode - it’s pretty lame. The camera would blow their minds, but you wouldn’t be able to do chit with the photos.

It wouldn’t work. You could show people all the memes of cats you probably have saved until it dies though.

It doesn’t even matter about the reception. Someone/people would kill you just from the pics and touch screen being sorcery.

All you did was brought a camera back to 1900 with you. One that will likely die after two days of use.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

In 1990? Useless... wtf. Such a boring time to go back to. BRB Covid WW1 gonna get you.

A better question would be going back to like the 1400s or 1700s or something.

I would use it to record a bunch of voice message (on airplane mode to save battery life). My own voice, but I would be speaking as god. These voice messages first predict events, and then they would make me the chosen one. I'd be like John of Arc but with actual proof of me being the chosen one spoken to by the lord. Then I would conquer the world. Lead some crusades. Become George Washington. I dunno. But gotta take advantage.
