Here’s a simple trick to make your expensive smart phone a lot dumber. Hold your finger over each of the app tiles until you see the “uninstall” selection. Press this and the annoying apps will go away.
It’s kind of like the scene in “2001:Space Odyssey” when Dave starts disconnecting HAL’s brain. You can keep “Phone” and “Maps” and maybe your bank app, but the rest are just time killers. You don’t even need the email app but that’s a hard one to drop if you are severely addicted.
With my LOWES app I don’t have to search for an employee to direct me to the right bin.
Phone is the one that sucks. I don’t appreciate voice communication.
