What is and how does the proximity sensor in phones work?

The proximity sensor is found in almost all smartphones and has several uses. He is in charge, among other things, of disabling touches on the screen and turning it off during a call. It was the main application of this sensor in the beginning, and today it is used in many ways. For example, newer phones have an auto-dial option when you hold the phone to your ear while the contact is open, or while reading a message. Many applications use this sensor, e.g. push-up applications where the sensor has the role of counting push-ups by putting the phone under your head and when you do the push-up you get closer to the sensor and it registers it and increases the number by one. Some applications use this sensor to register if the phone is in your pocket and thus prevent accidental unlocking of the phone.
