I could be totally wrong about my understanding but I think phones and other devices “pull” the electricity needed to charge their batteries and if you plugged it into a wall plug that couldn’t supply enough juice it could damage the phone. I also hear people talk about some wall plugs charge their phone way faster so my question is can phones or other devices modulate how much they pull if they detect that a plug is capable of supplying more? Enlighten me people of the internet’s!

no, electricity is pushed into the phone, and can damage it if too much is pushed.
some phones can take more amperes of electricity than others, which makes them to charge faster, but they need to ask the charger to give them more amps, and charger should be capable of understanding that request and providing more electricity.
if there is no request from phone for more amps, all charges provide same low amps that were standard for older phones.
If you want the phone to charge faster, use the charger that came with it, or charger from another recent phone.
