I've tried quite a lot of things short of changing to a dumb phone but I always just end up working around them eventually (eg deleting apps so I use the web version, deleting things from the home screen so I just go to the app library, instinctively dismissing the screen time lock etc).
My screen time isn't thaaat bad (1.5-2hrs per day) and I only really use whatsapp and the web browser, but I'd still like it to be less.
TBH by far the best thing I've found is having a book that I'm in to to hand which I can pick up instead of my phone during those times where you have a few minutes to spare. During those times it goes down to less than an hour today, which is pretty much all Whatsapp, which I don't consider problematic.
