Still kind of in denial about this, terrible news.
Even as mainly a lurker, this forum has brought me daily happiness for so many years.
Thanks so much @Velocio. -
Shocking and so sad. Like many others, I read through this thread in chunks and always found it interesting and inspiring.

Same with me. I can't really smell flowers now. Oh well.
Luckily it hasn't noticeably impacted my sense of taste.

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.

That's really cool. I think I spend 90% of my phone time reading text though, so probably wouldn't help with the addiction much.
Wonder how much import fees would be.
kiiind of like it in a very weird way.
