I've considered doing this, but it's not possible for two reasons: all my banking apps require using a smartphone. And second, I'm a web developer and need to test sites on a phone daily. There's also one killer app I don't want to stop using: maps (Google, Apple, Open Street Map, doesn't matter which). However, I have switched to NextDNS and locked out a large chunk of the internet on the phone. That helps.

Maps are definitely the one thing that still keeps me owning a smartphone. The navigation is just super convenient. That said, before smartphones, I managed to find my way to where I needed to be, using paper maps and written directions. It's not that hard.

if you're on android, there's an app you might like called "target home launcher" that will let you set your map app as the home screen. i have mine set to open metro so it feels more a like an mp3 player first that's also able to do other things if needed you could then use something like zone launcher and only add one or two important apps to it, or use swiftly switch instead and set it up so you have to search for an app, basically making it harder to casually wander onto some social media app like you would if you had them all showing on your homescreen
