Yeah, well - in my city you can't park without an app. The option I use is to get rid of all social media on my phone. ALL. The upshot is I'm able to use old, cheap smartphones to do what I need to do and there's nothing on the phone to entice me to engage with it.

This seems to be the way to go.

I just don't have any social media apps on my phone at all, so that stops the feed-scrolling that so many people have trouble with. I've got very few accounts I could connect it to anyhow.

Hint. Last time I got a new phone, I transferred zero apps.
I downloaded them from the store one by one as "needed"
Starting from scratch is a good exercise, at least when I reach the "What is this app and why do I have it?" point.

Smartphones are a relic of commercialism and will eventually face the same fate as PDAs.
