    This is why I’m looking for a dumb phone. Too much time wasted on doomscrolling.

      Just get an android phone without google play services or microG, get a minimalist launcher, then only install the apps you need straight from the web

          What do you mean? Most people already have a suitable android phone either in their pocket or in a closet, and a cheap one is significantly less expensive than the dumb phones that are sold to people who want to stop doomscrolling

        I was thinking about this after posting my comment.

        I have some phones laying around that I can try to install a different OS on.
