I had a dumb phone until around 2011 and I really miss not staring at my phone all of the time. The only thing that gives me pause is my family sending links via text. I’ve tried other ways to limit screen time but if it’s there I’m gonna use it.

    I just want a smart phone with privacy. I want to be able to use a web browser. I have little interest in a dumb phone since I never get calls or txts

      Have you looked at GrapheneOS? It’s a big change, but it gets the job done.

      Disclaimer: I shamelessy advertise it because I use Graphene OS and I want others to use it too so it won’t become abandonware, forcing me back to a slow crappy phone again.

      It really is pretty nice.
