It’s possible to modify the image sensors of phones/tablets to make infrared or ultraviolet photography possible?

    Many cameras have an infrared filter glass over the sensor that can be removed (may or may not be designed to be removed though), but that totally depends on the camera.

    I just tested my phone camera with an infrared remote control aimed at the camera, apparently my phone camera wasn’t designed with that filter glass in the first place.

    That’s just how easy it is to test, just point an IR remote at your camera and see if the camera can see it when you press a button on the remote.

      There probably is a filter, but a filter isn’t going to block 100% of the light
