One thing that really works to make apps less interesting sensorially is to turn the screen grayscale. For anyone who feels addicted to their phones, you can set this in the accessibility settings in android
they tend to be less of an addiction because we usually don’t keep them turned on all the time. There’s a time for turning off and stopping for the day, unlike phones, that we tend to use at any moment
i don’t understand the phone addiction, so i don’t think i’m qualified to answer that; but i can say that i notice that people speak and behave differently if they rely more heavily on their phones than i do.
and i also suppose that the fact that i don’t bring my laptop everywhere with me and that the only time i use my phone at home is for phone conversations make sense.
Sad to hear that. Grayscale helped me a lot, both on mobile and desktop. It’s alsoimportant to try finding interesting things like hobbies, to fill the gap left by the phone, or we end up coming back to it, because nothing else seems interesting. I struggled a lot before finding a tech usage time that I feel like not harmuf to me, and even so, I have to be constantly observing if I’m not becoming addicted again

Grayscale never helped for me for some reason, maybe I am too addicted
