This obviously works just as well with your current phone but if you are getting a new phone anyways I recommend you to start out fresh with a minimal amount of apps and no social media. My old phone was 5 years old and slowly dying so I thought what better way to get away from social medias than starting on a clean slate

I've been researching purchasing a dumb phone on and off for about a year and have realized that, even if we don't want to be, there are so many things that require us to have a phone nowadays - whether it be for work, school, or going out, a phone is required almost everywhere. if you are really struggling with phone addiction, delete all the social media apps off of your phone (keep the accounts you have for now) and whittle down your apps to the absolute basics. for me, I just have Spotify, my navigation app, and my school/work/banking necessities. you are able to redownload apps or look websites up online, but you also need to put the commitment in yourself. I've been starting to use my phone less and less (average screen time is around five hours) but I also know that I still have work to do. if you want any more useful tips let me know!

have been toying of the idea of switching to a dumb phone for a while but decided i may as well start by seeing what i can do with this phone first.
deleted all unnecessary/time-wasting apps, adjusted settings to make phone less stimulating, and while i was at it i redesigned my homescreen to reduce clutter and fit the old tech vibe i’m manifesting for myself!!!
was a tedious process but i’m happy with the results, using my phone already feels less overwhelming overall :)
(btw if anyone is interested in lobotomizing their phone this is the guide i followed)

i figured i’m probably a phone addict (arent we all?), so in addition to not keeping my phone in my pocket while i’m at home and muting notifications for every app except phone and messages, i deleted almost ever non-necessary app and put all the apps i use most on my home screen. hopefully this makes me smarter 🙏
if anyone has done something like this and has suggestions/advice lmk
