minus-squareWFloyd@lemmy.worldtoTechnology@lemmy.zip•Adults and teens pick dumbphones to curb social media addictionlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·edit-224 days agoI tried this myself, but it’s hard for a few reasons: Messaging actually takes more time (defeats some of the purpose) No banking apps (inconvenient) No proprietary 2FA (nonstarter for work reasons) No “let me Google that real quick” moments (comparison shopping when in store, looking up a phone number for a restaurant, etc.).
