Sharing all I have learned in 8 years of “larger than life” photography with a smartphone.
A macro lens for your mobile phone can help you get very close to smaller subjects. I have had the pleasure of using multiple little lenses for my iPhones over the years, including Olloclip, InstaLens (no longer manufactured), SquidCam (no longer manufactured), and Moment, there are many others to choose from, I would suggest doing research for one that fits your phone first and avoid buying a very cheap lens, use the more expensive ones if you can. There are lenses available for most mobile phones (Android and Apple).

In my experience, there is no significant difference in the way you use different mobile phone macro lens systems. They all essentially do the same thing, but as with lenses for big cameras, there is a difference between very cheap ones and the more expensive ones. I would consider cheap to be less than $20 (US). The most expensive ones are around $100 (US) but depending on which country you are in, there are some good brands available for moderate prices as well. (I'm going to test a moderate-priced lens for a future video soon).

See the comment section below for a 'recap' of the main tips covered in this video. I could not fit everything into the limited space here on the description.
