Switch phones to what? A company whose entire business model is tracking and selling ads that also took the app offline?

- bigyabai 1y agoOh good, the "grass is never greener" arguement! You don't have to use a smartphone. You can buy a flip phone, a $20 Android handset or even a Linux burner that handles SMS, takes photos and keeps your voicemail. Or you could use no phone at all.
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoRight - and lose directions, the ability to use messaging apps I use for work, and “using no phone” so I can’t contact anyone?
- bigyabai 1y agoMobile data and maps will stay, if you trust a WWAN modem enough. Your messaging apps for work should be on a work device, not your personal phone. And yes, using "no phone" is a perfectly amicable solution to the problem. I know, it sounds wild. You can still make it 24 hours without touching Instagram in 2025, I've checked myself.
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoYou said “no phone” as in no method for anyone to contact me.
