Answer

Is it safe to photograph a solar eclipse with my smartphone in Mallorca?

No. Unfiltered sunlight can damage eyes and camera sensors. Don’t just point and shoot; prepare with a certified solar eclipse filter, place it over the lens, use a tripod, and manually lower exposure. Also avoid looking through the phone's viewfinder and stay aware of surroundings.
