I have used a dumbphone (it can only call and text very slowly) since last year and it has been very good for my mind.
What I found is also that the things on the phone (social media) are not that bad if they are not on the phone. I still use whatsapp etc because it is necessary where I live, but all with the computer. I keep the smartphone plugged in in a drawer and never take it out. When it is not in your pocket, it is not so intrusive anymore. When you go outside with only the dumb phone it is nice, you look around more, talk to people more, read more things like books and newspapers (just because youre bored otherwise). It makes a lot more space in the mind.
