I'm surprised it works at all. If it works then no reason not to do it. Only with the laptop off, however.

No generally even on laptops with USB-C power delivery the power source needs to be a minimum 45w which is way beyond a cell phone charger. You will find however, you can charge your cell phone with a laptop charger very fast in an emergency.
