If you could only keep one app on your phone, what would it be?

Imagine if you were allowed to use only one single application for your whole life. Who would you pick?
I don’t know if there is another correct answer, right?
Banking I can do on a computer, I live in a place with great public transport so losing Uber would not be the end of the world
Assuming pre-installed stuff is a given (in which case I guess I'm managing with Chrome) then here in Sweden I'd have to go with BankID so I could still do ecommerce stuff.
What is the one app you would keep, and why is it ChatGPT?
If I could only do one thing with my phone (app-wise) it’d either be music or podcasts. If I had to pick one, I’d go with podcasts.
So I’m going to say my podcast app of choice, OverCast.
Or the Telephone app that allows me to make phone calls, if we are pedantic.
I can do everything else on dumb phone + computer + camera, but 2FA is the reason I simply cannot drop the smartphone.
I can do everything else at home on my PC.
but i think i am NOT a person for one-app phone. i tend to install a lot and just throw em off the memory lane.
Basically the only thing I really miss in the feature phones is email client.
The phone app.
why it's the main app that you need? are you travelling a lot?
I'd bet good money that most people have neither Notion nor ChatGPT apps installed on their phones. How many people do you think don't use Maps or an equivalent whenever they're away from home?
most other apps are sedentary.
Sure, I'd miss all the messaging channels, but I could tell people they can only sms me.
Well, you wouldn't be able to keep the messages app would you? So they can't :)
