I just don't install apps at all. I have a stock message app, a signal app, that's pretty much all I use for communication. No facebook, no instagram, no snapchat, no whatsapp, no slack, no bullshit. I'm sick and tired of having to find fucking "life hacks" and run through hoops to be not disturbed.
I started somewhat care less about notifications and emails and messages and whatnot. Unless people are in an urgency which I will reply, but normally I just reply whenever I am free. I'm not more productive, I just feel less attracted to the phone.
- metaobject 9y agoI prefer to do everything I can from my browser. I think it's silly to have apps for evey single facet of life. Every time I go to a news/shopping/etc website, it wants me to open/install their app. What is the advantage of having multiple news apps, multiple social network apps, multiple shopping apps over just using a browser?
- scottLobster 9y agoOften the app's interface is simply better than the mobile website. If you do a lot on your phone, the extra convenience adds up.
- sgc 9y agoOr it's a lot worse and missing functionality, which has been my experience the few times I gave a website app the benefit of the doubt and installed it. But they get a free ad on your app/home screen and a shot at stickier use, which is all they really care about. I too just use a browser at this point.
