  • I've looked into crap smart phones a few times now and never ended up switching but instead have got an app blocker installed to just limit a bunch of apps and websites. Some of them I'll look at once a day when brushing my teeth, it locks out after 10 minutes but I've found I just close the app before that point now myself as I'm not as attached. Other things it's got to a point where I've not even been on once and should just delete my profile but can't be bothered to even log in to do it. I did the greyscale thing on my iPhone for a bit but found it didn't really do anything.

    Unfortunately for me I have made the mistake of getting used to the need for a lot of stuff on my phone as Oliver says above. Pretty much every social outlet I have will be organised through WhatsApp now, meeting for drinks, plans for watching the football, my DnD group, my band for practices and sharing recordings and stuff so I feel pretty stuck with needing that. Then there's gig tickets often being through apps like Dice and stuff now as well and then listening to music and podcasts and that as well. Banking is also one that I find useful to have when needed and then there's authenticator stuff and desk booking for work.

    I've got an idea in my head of stuff that I'd want and stuff that I'd easily just cut out, if the right phone offered it, so I should probably just uninstall all the apps that phone would cut out and I'd be fine.

    Put simply, if you want to change, you'll find out who your real friends are. :)
