You might not notice it in your peer group, when you are not their age, but my daughter showed me that many 20-30yr olds are switching to dumb phones, are cancelling their Facebook/tiktok/twitter accounts and are discovering libraries and printed books. As a conscious decision. Not all of them, but quite a lot and it's growing.

One of my concerns around dumb phones is the lack of ability to use something like Signal for its privacy. I may be uninformed here, but SMS is absolutely useless from a privacy perspective, and these days, that's a hard nope.

signal on proprietary operating systems can only give you as much privacy as the controllers of the proprietary operating systems will allow. hold on to the dumb phone and, where privacy matters, use a computing device that actually stands a chance of respecting your privacy
