I used to feel this way too. Now, for whatever reasons, I am helplessly addicted to the phone. Maybe I'm more depressed recently, maybe it's become more addicting, maybe I finally found the combo of apps which really hit the button in my brain that makes me constantly check it. But it's no longer just a tool for me, and I contemplate replacing it with a dumb phone constantly.
- ianburrell 3y agoI guess I don't consider the phone addictive since I use iPad or computer at home. It is Reddit or Youtube that are addictive. Also, it is possible to make phone into useful tool. I make audible/vibrate notifications for important things so don't need to check phone constantly. Put the phone down and only use it when you need it. Try moving content consumption to another device. Try limiting addictive things to certain circumstances. If that doesn't work, consider deleting the addictive apps and turning the phone into a tool. Smartphone without addiction is more useful than a dumb phone.
