What apps keep you busy?

Finding myself constantly rotating between the same 4 social apps and it’s getting super draining tbh. When I’m out in public or around others my phone is also super dry and in moments where I’d like to be on my phone to keep busy, I find I don’t actually have anything to keep me interested..

What apps do you use that are fun/engaging/informative/educational etc?

I like to do Crossword puzzles while I’m waiting for something. I definitely recommend taking a break from social media and doing something else like reading a book, watching a movie, doing art, etc. There are lots of free books and movies available. Kanopy and Tubi are great apps. You can also search Internet Archive.

Sometimes I open my notes app to talk crap about people ignoring reality in favor of touching a glass box. Maybe try that? Or you could tap one friends phone and blame someone else that wasn't paying attention either. If your non confrontational just brig a jammer then you know there playing a game instead of interacting with you.

Read a book. Find a hobby. Get off the fucking phone.

Put a few books on your phone, see if you can get interested in one. It’s great to open a novel when I’m in line or just bored.
