Abstract	Mobile technology has become an increasingly pervasive factor in our daily lives. The false perception of phone vibrations and notifications is called Phantom Vibration Syndrome or Ringxiety. Psychologist Dr David Laramie first coined it in 2007 after observing the cognitive anticipation, behavioural conditioning, and sensory misfiring that this syndrome brings. This paper aims to consolidate twenty years of studies in this subject, including its patterns, basis psychological implications on Ringxiety. This is a review to highlight the knowledge gaps in theory and practical research, which will help future researchers who are interested in exploring digital sensory misperception and mobile-induced anxieties.
