That visual ability to switch your focus between what’s on your phone and the reflection of yourself on your phone.

If I’m on my phone and catch a glimpse of my reflection, I can kind of focus (can’t really explain it well) and change my focus from the game/browser or whatever, and my reflection, and back and forth. How is that happening? Does it have a name?

Because of the way the light bounces your reflection is twice as far away from you than the phone. Your eyes have to change angles to look at things that are different distances. Try this, stand in front of a mirror. Reach out and touch the mirror. Look at your finger, then your reflection, back and forth a few times. Its the same effect.
