Does a mobile phone harm flash drives?

Imagine a flash drive (a "finger" solid-state USB drive) next to a switched on mobile phone with a cellular connection - on a desktop or simply in the same pocket of the user.
Does the electromagnetic radiation of a working mobile phone cause any harm to the performance of the flash drive and the integrity of the data contained on the flash drive?
How significant is this harm?

I guess it doesn't. A mobile phone certainly induces microcurrents in a flash drive, but we must not forget that these carriers are also present in mobile phones themselves.
I believe that cosmic and radioactive radiation causes disproportionately more harm to flash drives.

And there are so many magnetic fields around us, from a passing tram to a TV and radio broadcasting tower, cell towers and various wi-fi routers, that the phone nervously smokes and envies against their background.
So in this case, I think the developers of flash drives took into account the electromagnetic disturbances of the environment and they can be neglected.

The phone itself has a fair amount of flash memory, and nothing, it works =)

No.
More precisely, the influence is so negligible that it can be neglected.
