The transparent area has that dotted coating which blocks electromagnetic waves of the ~2.4GHz frequency (microwave), same as 2.4GHz wifi. A lot of 5GHz would be probably blocked too, though I’m not sure how much.
That is true, but try and put your phone in a microwave and see if the wifi or the network drop to 0. I have and they don’t. They are weak, but not at 0.
There is a small amount of leakage expected but that should be below the safe limit
If you’re worried you can check the grid on the door for any holes and dont have anything in between the door and the microwave body as that might compromise the seal
What distance are you standing from the microwave ?
It is for that, but it’s not 100% fullproof. You don’t believe me? Try it. Put your phone in a plugged off microwave, see if the wifi and network drop to 0.
Aren’t microwaves Faraday cages? Can a phone get a signal out of one?
The front is glass.

A plugged off microwave, of course.
If you ever feel stupid, just remember… people like this do exist
Faraday cages don’t work how you think they do op
If signals can get out so can microwaves and microwaves wouldn’t even be allowed on the market

It’s normal, no microwave holds the beam 100% in the box.
Idk if it’s dangerous but it doesn’t sound good.
This guy stuck his face inside a microwave and he seems probably fine: https://youtu.be/3hBRxwQXmCQ
Well that was kinda fun, thanks!
Just remember that there is also beam forming in microwaves. It doesn’t have to be 100% Farady cage, 5 out of 6 sides is enough.
hmmmmm i wonder what the metal mesh in the glass panel does hmmmmmmmmmm what could it possibly be for hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Plus 2.4 GHz wifi and 2.45 GHz microwaves might interfere with each other.
