Uninstall the browser and any social media apps. Google Maps and Signal aren’t what’s damaging your mental health.

Power saving mode. The maximum power saving mode allows for just a few apps to run at all, so picking out the apps that are for communication gets the outcome you’re looking for, as long as you keep the phone on that maximum power saving mode.

Download maps, turn off wifi and data, and use SMS for friends and family. Wait, SMS is compromised now? Nevermind.

Meshtastic and a solid network?
