The video posted on April 23 shows a girl directing a targeted stream of saliva on an iPhone screen over the touch keypad.
The content creator then spits on six different numbers to unlock the phone successfully.
She then looks up, smiling, while wiping away at the corner of her mouth.
The poster, in a crowded venue with loud music playing, is then cheered on by a group of loud onlookers, who seemed impressed.
Users were quick to weigh in, with one saying “she’s spittin facts…and passcodes.”
Another, however, was less impressed, saying “I will never touch anyone else’s phone ever again.”
While one had a more philosophical approach and said “Her saliva is stronger than most relationships these days.”

One user put it into practice himself to see if it worked and said “u bet i tried it…it worked.”
And another got technical, saying “Well this is a new type of biometric identification.”
There may actually be some science behind the bizarre act.
A Popular Science article from November 2015 referred to the phenomenon as “mutual capacitance.”
The article says the human body is “extremely conductive,” because it is made up of mostly water.
It asserted that the touchscreen “locates your finger on the grid by measuring how much the charge drops between two intersecting electrodes,” which could explain the woman’s ability to unlock the iPhone with saliva.
