The issue then wasn't phone specifically, but social media apps installed there. I have phone at home around on the desk (but then again not always sitting by it), but since having 0 social apps its just a tool for emails, calls, whatsapp, navigation etc. and I quickly check it maybe every 1-2h for new emails/calls and thats it.

I still check FB on desktop from time to time if somebody close doesn't have anything interesting, but that is 1-3 mins max. FB has a very hostile UI on desktop these days (Firefox and ublock origin) and a lot of bugs on their sites, so I quickly get disgusted and close it.

The best part is, it completely refreshes whole timeline with new stuff every few mins, so anything I was just reading just blips out of existence, never to be seen again. So even if I manage to stay 3 mins it literally kicks me out. Thanx FB.

Another issue with that social media (don't use any other, why ffs its all mind cancer) is being overflooded with fake AI generated bullshit posts full of half truths and outright lies. Normally via suggested groups, cesspool of scum. So I have no idea what friends actually do, and not missing it.
