A cheap phone clamp or mini tripod is the next step up. Check the phone can’t slide or fall before you walk away.
All questions / Filming yourself
How do I film myself without a tripod?
Short answerLean the phone against something stable at the right height: books, a shelf, a water bottle, a window ledge. Use the timer or a remote so you aren’t touching it when it starts.
