Smart phone addiction: Did anyone successfully switch to a dumb phone?

[Help_please]

Ee madhya smart phone lo time waste cheyadam ekkuvaindi...Did anyone switch to a dumb phone successfully? ATT NumberSync feature(multiple phones with same number) seems like a good option but it only supports smart phones

I tried but I cant... but the only best thing I could do so far is sometimes I leave the phone in the living room when i go sleep in the bedroom... thats the best I could do so far.. needs to make it a habit everyday though

good that you tried bro

I deleted all useless social media apps...whatsapp okkati parents calling kosam uncha...but that mobile browser is still pulling me back to mindless internet surfing

I use apps for that digital wellbeing if using google phones or action dash if using other phones.I set time limit for each app and once completes it will block that app for the day

Its okay bro it takes time to get used to it. If you don’t want to waste time on social media apps, its good to delete them .. I do the same. 

Surfing is hard to control at times.. What I do is, I keep my phone on ring mode keep it far away from the reach and stick with something constructive to do .. It works for me for the most part.. just give it a try..
