Any solution for imposing a relatively high barrier to get to the 'smart' functionality of the phone?
I'd like to have texting, camera, phone, maps, and music, with everything else requiring a decent effort to access. That way email and browser and other extra functions are available but inconvenient, so I'll either rethink what I'm doing or use a laptop in the many cases where it's far more appropriate.
It seemed like this should be doable with users, but I haven't seen a good way.
I made a post for this yesterday,but didn't get any good advice, so I'm trying again here.

- jiggunjer 8y agoHave you tried app-based locks? If after unlocking the homescreen you have to unlock yet another app, you might not touch your phone. Security increase is a bonus.

It supports modes too, so you can have "Nav" where Lyft and Maps have connectivity if you're getting around. Very nice.
- tunap 8y agoI am quite surprised AFWall+ was only mentioned once in this thread. Have been a happy user since KitKat for same reasons... Peace of mind on my customized terms.
