This works great for me. I have only a few apps, like a piano tuner, don't use Safari on my phone, and its peaceful. The key to me is to stop looking at the phone as a computer and use it just for texting and calls. I bought a refurb

Thanks, I tried that and it works! I use dark mode and now instead of a black background with lime green bubbles and white text, it's darker green (and blue) bubbles with white text. Both are easier to read! Functionality is more im
