Well, your article is certainly not ‘keeping it simple’. I agree with your two Joans and one Teresa.

Nancy, you miss the point. The end result is a minalist phone free of bloat and data mining.

I didn’t miss the point…it’s just the lengthy amount of words and info used is, to a non-expert IT person, such as myself, mind-boggling.

Your last sentence above would have sufficed (for me). :) Minimalist…keeping it simple.

You know so much! I mostly use my phone as a phone, and sometimes to take pics and put them on Facebook, the only social media channel I have besides my blog. Thanks for sharing all this!

Thank you Teresa. I'm trying to use my phone more as a phone as well, which is why I'm keeping it as simple as I can and use fewer apps

This is very interesting. My partner won’t have a smart phone, or any mobile phone & has used Linux for years in preference to Microsoft etc. I’m still using an iPhone but have a Google tablet…but struggle with the tablet as it has far too many features on it, most of which I don’t understand & can’t find any understandable instructions for, so this is probably a bit beyond my capabilities. Well done you though🤗❤️💙🕊️

As one of the Joans aforementioned, I hope you will write more of your stuff without such distractions.

Time will tell…but I always find an irresistible distraction without even looking for one.
