View submission: I Need WhatsApp/Spotify/(Insert App) Master Post

View parent comment

I’m in the UK and we exclusively use WhatsApp for all texting and information sharing. I see it as communication as opposed to social media.

I find Americans text via iMessage by default the way we use WhatsApp by default.

So my ideal dumb phone would

• Have the following: phone calls + WhatsApp + Spotify + map + ideally card payments if I forget my wallet.

AKA FUNCTIONAL

• have none of the following AKA SOCIALS: web browser, emails (this is the number one thing that bothers me on smartphones - the expectation to check work and personal emails at all times of the day and night!) or socials like ig/fb/tiktok/snapchat.

Sounds like exactly what I am searching for, have you found a good dumb phone that matches these criteria?
