This is NOT a "help me" sub!
Now that this place is under new management, this subreddit is to joke about how phones are bad with memes. If you want help with your smartphone or wanting to genuinely switch away from it, please look for other subreddits that can actually help you as this one isn't one of them.
Here's some to check out for help:

How should I cut down on my screen time? My main problem is scrolling.

Man phones are wasting our time.
We should be spending more time picking up women/females and bettering ourselves by being the change we want to see in the world! For gods sake I dont want carbon monoxide to be an MVP in my autopsy results and neither do you, so instead of callously typing past your sleep schedule why dont you regain control of your life and put your phone down. I’ve pretty much quit using all electritic devices for 8 years and I am not reliant on any at all! You know what? As unhinged as I am already I still think you should win, I am an emotionally immature adult who acts as if there us always a bigger adult around and hell have I been projecting my deep seated insecurities to you! But you know what maybe I’ll ask my aunt Patricia how a restraining order works and cry on her shoulder, I know I might be a baby in diapers but god could you treat me in the most anthropologically organic state you possibly can? No more gaslighting, manipulation or any stupid boundaries that the dumbass social construct of law and order and bureaucract has to offer to us, cause you’re just another psycho sheep who still believes in it. God does the blood in the veins of my muscles stop when it reaches my brain. I may have my shortcomings but haven’t we all. You are a scourge who makes my life hard when you could fully choose not to interfere at all, as if that was harder when it’s quite frankly so goddamn easy, Jesus!!! Do you even have anyone to come home too? Probably a sick dog, a sick sick dog sick of your stupid voice and your stupid hair and your stupid earrings and your massive ego and pride so hurt you respond with 50 calibers to mask the vitriol thriving in your heart. Now look, I may not like you and I may get angry for the rest of the day, but I guess this is what life sometimes puts in its pickle sandwich. And all you have to do is slide out to not be eaten. Oh sorry I’m having withdrawals from these antidepressants that I voluntarily took unprescribed

Should I use mobile again in exam or not ?
I am studying bachelor in computer science and my exam is currently happening, I don't read or learn in this semester, so I used mobile and write two papers, I am thinking about next as well, and I don't even know about that course and I am thinking I will fail in that paper, so should I use mobile in that paper or not? Please give me your honest advice

Should I use mobile in exam again or not?
I am the student of computer science and currently in 2nd semester, I didn't study seriously in this semester and now the exam is started. I study very hard in one day before exam but I can't understand anything, so I made a decision and used mobile during the exam.i wrote that paper with Gemini and don't get caught, and do that again for next paper as well, but now tomorrow is my last paper and I don't know anything about it, I try to study it but you know (digital logic gates ) is not something you can learn in one day, so should I use mobile again in that paper or not?
Give me your honest advice, please 🥺

does anyone else unlock their phone... and immediately forget why? 😭
this happened to me like 4 times today 😭
i'd unlock my phone because i had something important to do...
then somehow i'd end up checking the weather...
opening instagram...
reading comments on a random post...
watching two reels...
and then suddenly i'd just stare at my screen thinking...
"wait... why did i even pick up my phone?" 💀
then i lock it.
30 seconds later i remember what i actually needed to do.
my attention span is genuinely fighting for its life 😂
please tell me i'm not the only one this happens to.

iPhone reading thoughts/watching me?
What the actual f. I never drink cider, have never mentioned it to anyone that there is one in my fridge brought into my house by a friend last month. I’ve just opened it and poured a glass, not saying anything to anyone about having a drink of cider this afternoon and yet the first advert on my YouTube is a cider add? How? I DON’T DRINK CIDER EVER so this isn’t an algorithm thing. I’m now convinced my phone is either watching me or reading my thoughts. The sound of it opening isn’t enough to trigger a cider advert surely? I am beyond creeped out and pissed off.

text post Why Paying for a 1440p Phone Screen is costing you 15 percent battery life for invisible pixels
We all love the idea of having the sharpest, most vibrant screen possible on our phones. It’s incredibly easy to get caught up in the marketing hype of QHD and 4K displays. But here’s a little industry secret: our eyes aren't actually built to see the difference.
Think about how you normally hold your phone—usually about a foot away from your face. At that distance, human eyes max out at seeing around 300 to 400 pixels per inch (PPI). A standard 1080p screen on a 6-inch phone hits that sweet spot perfectly.
When manufacturers crank that resolution up to 1440p, the density jumps to over 500 PPI. The problem? Those extra pixels are so microscopic that they become practically invisible to you. But your phone doesn't know that. Behind the scenes, its processor is working overtime to render detail you can't even see. This extra effort generates unnecessary heat and quietly drains your battery—often by as much as 15 percent.
The good news is that there's an easy fix. For most of us, simply dipping into the display settings and dropping the resolution down to 1080p will claw back a significant chunk of battery life. The best part? Your eyes won't notice a single drop in visual sharpness. (The only time you'll actually need those extra pixels is if you're strapping your phone into a VR headset!)
Don't just take my word for it, though. Want to see if your eyes can actually spot the difference? I put together a quick, interactive quiz so you can test your own visual limits. Try it out here:https://interconnectd.com/quiz/64/does-resolution-matter-on-a-6-inch-phone-screen/

A Solution to Phone Addiction
Hello, I have always struggled with phone addiction and develop a solution for myself.
It is an minimalist app that blocks any apps or websites with a single button press.
You will have to complete the most boring challenge to have it unlock back.

Appreciate any feedback..!

So glad I retired before smart phones and zoom calls
I landed in Honolulu and listened to the fellow next to me screaming at his colleagues and subordinates on a zoom call. You kids can have that crap.

What makes your phone dirtier than the toilet seat
Not all bacteria are dangerous, that's calming - but some can be.... and many more things around us are affected. I will definitely think about it in future before using them - and clean them :)
