I turned my IPhone into a dumb phone || & THIS is what happened.

Here’s how you can turn your IPhone into a dumb phone:
1. Settings
2. Screen time
3. Content & privacy restrictions
4. You would click “Allowed apps” and remove what you’d like.
5. You could also hit ITunes & App Store purchases and turn it to “ Don’t Allow”.
I recommend having someone you trust set up a screen time password for you, so you can’t just download everything back on your phone easily.
Thank you SO much for watching, I hope this video encourages you in one way or another.

I will be uploading a video every Sunday morning.

“How are we going to be the hands of Jesus if our hands are always scrolling on our phone ?” - wow that’s so great!! I haven’t heard a statement quite like it! God bless you! Thank you for sharing your story!

[@SeleenaOtt]

Aw! 🥺💕 thank you so much!!

[@madmoiselle007]

Yes lovely statement! I need to do this as well ❤

Jesus is not a God

[@sannelelie4206]

Yess thank you for this comment, I was feeling resistance towards diving into Scripture today and your comment just to face it and study Scripture. Praise God

I’ve been feeling this heavy conviction to do the same with my phone. And that’s why I searched this topic on KZbin to see if anyone has a video on this. And found this one 🙌🏼 I’m a Christian too and I believe our phones can definitely be distraction/ sin/ idolatry in our lives. I mainly want to quit to for my kids. I want to be more present with my wife and kids. Thank you for making this video 🙌🏼

[@erintannehill]

I did this about a month ago and it was the best decision ever! I was addicted to Safari and finding ways that I could access anything I wanted without having the apps. Now I only have necessary apps that aren't consumption based, and I realize the only time my phone actually needs my attention is when someone calls or texts me, which is so crazy to realize for some reason. Since doing this my daily use average has gone from 3-4 hours to about 1 hour! That difference is equal to a part-time job, and I can tell. I'm never going back!

[@SeleenaOtt]

Ok YES! I love this. Exactly my thoughts! Good for you girl 🥳

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

Oo that was a good one, that line hit me hard when you were talking about not normalizing being on your phone all the time to your children so they don’t see that as the norm that’s so good!

[@SeleenaOtt]

Yay! That makes me so happy! We’re in this together. It’s hard raising kids with all of our modern day distractions 😜

[@donnajones9006]

I am old. I have lived before cell phones. Our phones were connected to the wall. People these days cannot move without their phones. Good for you!

[@kimmchenry4383]

Same here , I'm glad I grew up with our phones in the wall

[@hikeandsee7621]

You are such a beautiful soul!! Praying for you and your family.

[@SeleenaOtt]

That is the sweetest 🥺😭✨

[@iamgracierose]

Amen! I love this :) was considering buying a "dumb phone" and it never occurred to me that I could make my "iPhone a dumb phone" Thanks for the inspiration. God bless you and your family.💖🙏🏽

[@SeleenaOtt]

Thank you!! I was considering the light phone, but figured I’d save money and just customize my iPhone to my liking! 🫶🏽

[@daniellecarney1487]

I totally agree with you. I have no social media at all. My thinking is clearer and I do everything more deliberately. Best decision I ever made. Wish my husband would live in the moment, but nope!

[@SeleenaOtt]

Well there is power in prayer! I never thought I’d be changing the way I am today. pray for change in your husband, and continue showing him, by action, how important it is to live in the moment 💕

[@AngelaJohns-qb2nq]

Your quote about being the hands and feet stopped me dead in my tracks so to speak. That spoke VOLUMES to my soul. Thank you for being so real and honest and sharing how this has changed your life!

Well over a year ago I deleted all social media off my iPhone. I have a couple Bible apps, my banking apps, a few work apps, and a word search game. I rarely use the browser for anything other than tracking a package I'm waiting on. It's been excellent. I've always been 'there' when I'm with people as I've always thought it rude to be playing with my phone when I'm with friends and family. Then again, I grew up before the blessing/curse of smartphones and the internet, heck, before cell phones! I am VERY happy for you and your family that you made this choice. May God bless you and yours.

[@SeleenaOtt]

Yup! That sounds like my phone. So amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@jadexx1]

Love this video! Thank you for making it, its inspiring

[@clarissaadams5515]

Thank you, I think this is the push I needed from god to delete my socials. Keeping KZbin though I think it’s very useful and I use it to work on my car and what not

[@SeleenaOtt]

I agree!

[@tamarabelen7898]

Thank you for your videos; they are helping me lead a more relaxed life and a deeper dedication to God. It's not an easy path because I often have to explain to people why I'm not on social media or why I've turned my iPhone into a simple phone. They find it unusual for someone who is 24 years old, especially among the young people at my university.

[@sasapetroski981]

This is so beautiful to hear, like everything in video👍👍👍

[@andrewchengmusic4235]

Doing what really matters to YOU seems to be unheard of these days because everyone wants to be involved with everything and not be left out. Congrats on making your change. I took a long time off work last year and still off work, though looking for work now, to come up with the same journey you are doing and your husband, the journey to live intentionally and do things that really matter to me and am passionate about. Its about the journey and not the final results. And from that, decided to finally start my KZbin channel 🙂. What ends up of it, no clue but the journey's been great! Thanks for sharing your video! I was using a blackberry Keyone for about 5 years until i broke up yesterday, My goal for my new phone would be to use it even more as a utility phone and have even less apps than before, thus reduce the on screen time further go maybe be go a few days without charging! 🤣

[@cabbagecrosby1993]

I never thought about it like that, it really does add up like a job, but instead of paying us, it just steals our time.

[@spreadjoy7345]

God truly is so timely. You spoke on the very things I’ve been feeling for years and explained them exactly as I’ve been thinking and feeling! Praying to make these changes and that they will stick for both my husband and I! New subscribers here! Love your content 💗

[@SeleenaOtt]

Aw yay!! This makes me so happy!

Great video! I did something similar recently, and I'm still figuring out the best screen time balance for me

[@nataliamadethat]

Love this! I struggle with this daily and mainly because social media is also how I get paid. How do I balance the two? Even for you I wonder with having a social media presence how do balance doing work without it being on your device? My main business is on Instagram and I haven’t really found an easy way to still work without my phone. But then I struggle with balancing scrolling and “working”

[@johns4655]

Purchased from Verizon prepaid a TCL Flip Phone talk and text ONLY, no data CAPABILITY. Turned off my IPhone and use my laptop for all my internet needs, almost always at home. So far, I pretty much echo your results too and I recharge every 3 days, out of an abundance of caution on my part, I think I could do it weekly (maybe).

[@ec6833]

What do you do for gps?

[@evelyny7037]

Well said! Very encouraging! God bless! 🦋💕

How did you remove safari from your iphone, as well as the internet connection? I’ve removed everything else but the browser is THE gateway into the abyss for me right now

[@christiancordova2331]

Turn your screen black and white it helps with dopamine detox

I love this idea!!

[@sugeyv]

Im trying this but instead of had the apps on my phone I use the navegator app for go into all the social things or see whatever i want so is kinda embarassing for me to not have the wilpower of just stop using it so yeah, I admire the people who can have all this things in their phone but still dont use it

[@jaicejarrah3319]

So did you get rid of social media all together? Or do you access it on your laptop?

[@SeleenaOtt]

Hi!! So I have my Instagram account currently deactivated. I still have my Facebook technically, but I’m never on it. However, when my Instagram account wasn’t deactivated, I was going on it using my laptop. Which is why I ended up logging off for now lol ❤
