Dumb phones (ultra-minimalist devices) are a cool new trend, but I am just a bit too in love with the convenience and features of my smartphone to give it up entirely. As I say in the video, there is a middle ground between "using a brick for a phone" and "allowing your phone to completely take over your life and attention". You can find what works for you!
In this video I'm sharing the adjustments I've made to my phone: setting it to grayscale mode, changing the language, deleting distracting apps, using OneSec to block access to social media apps, etc.... plus, I take you through a full tour of my home screen setups and favorite apps!

I like how you don’t have the latest and greatest phone. It’s refreshing to see.

[@inubrother3524]

finally a fellow iPhone 12 Pro user! i don’t plan on upgrading till the 17 comes out so it’s nice to see people not pushing me to upgrade to the latest and greatest

[@larauerc]

some hours ago I remembered you and went to your channel to see if I missed a video because I missed you. imagine my surprise when I saw this. maybe my manifestation is starting to work.... great video as always!! xx

[@megh_na]

this exact same thing happened to me just right now!

[@tencapybara7537]

Me too!

[@ekenmaice1435]

Same here

[@avipsadas3362]

You look like Billie Eilish

Finally there's someone who use phone productively almost just like me....!

[@saskiaegeland-jensen8152]

I love these videos! I can’t remember how long ago it was but the first time I saw an earlier one of your phone tour videos where you showed how you only have a few crucial apps on the Home Screen, it changed my life! I used to be one of those people with every single app meticulously organised into folders, either by theme or colour, but when I realised the App Library exists I hugely cut down my Home Screen and it’s not so overwhelming and only has the apps I use daily and useful widgets. Deleting social media apps a while ago too has really helped me steadily spend less time on them, and now I basically never go on my personal social media. Anyway, thanks for sharing ❤️

[@10_stefan_10]

another thing that i found that really helps is turning off tap to wake and raise to wake, so when you want to go scrolling you conciously have to press the power button, not just picking it up or tapping the screen

[@ImjustLily]

5:09 loved what you said ‘bout upgrading your iPhone! In 2021 I went from an iPhone 8 to the 12 (base model) and I don’t see me changing it in the near future ‘cause as you said iPhones are all the same now except for very few features, so it’d be a huge waste. Secondly, I really love this phone, it has pretty much all I need and I found my own personal way to make it less distracting 💜

[@saaroh.]

6:42 another cool period tracker is called lively cycle which also shows hormone levels, gives tips for cycle-syncing, suggests specific foods to eat / ways to move / activities you'll probably like during each phase & recently got the feature to share some information with a partner, maybe you'd like that one as well :) love your videos!

[@ladyo.s7937]

wow these weeks I have been a little obsessed with the videos of what up on my phone? and u came with this video! I absolutely love it!

[@clarkysparky]

i didnt know about disabling spotlight search that is really useful for not wasting your time

[@FIiieia]

i was super inspired when you made your last phone tour, and i'm soooo glad that now my phone has become significantly less distracting and more helpful. great video, as always!

[@katexxx365]

Thanks for the video! So many helpful tips, def making some changes to my phone after this

[@itssamrivera]

this is exactly what i needed!

[@naewood3321]

I got the 14 pro max yesterday (upgraded from the 12 mini 😅); I could definitely see this phone lasting me at least five years. And as a phone connoisseur that says a lot.

[@nuesita]

Thanks for the video! I’m excited to watch :)

[@emilyaaa7169]

Thank you for DayOne!

[@carliedanielle]

OMG, I was so excited when I heard that you are doing a summer internship in Chicago! I love it here & hope you enjoy the city :)

[@darthvader1770]

I love the way you smile, I heard nothing but your eyes and your smile. I love your videos even I haven't heard anything but adoring your smile and eyes ❤

Thanks for the video! Would be also great to see how you organize your computer. Cheers!

[@kelseymcilwain2185]

It’s so cool that you’re in Chicago! My dream is to randomly run into you 😂

[@Arsalan_2210]

i literally deleted all social media apps from my phone and use my macbook to check social media. I have set a timer everyday at 7pm to check social media for 30 minutes. So that has been great for me :))

[@midnight_moons7910]

can we have a new notion tour (if it's changed from your 2023 one 10months ago!) I love notion and would love a new tour / tutorial on creating yours! I love certain features but unsure on how to create to incorporate into mine!!

[@EmilyMooremore]

Random, but does anyone know where I can get cute and sturdy cases?

where can i get your home screen wallpaper??

[@lisastam7609]

Thank you so much for the usefull tips! Love that Stardust app and your app widgets! I recently changed the language of Tiktok on my phone to make it less attractive to open. Now if i open it I don't really understand it and learn a bit of the language ;)

[@megh_na]

Ahhh! Been waiting for this for ages! Thank you sooo much for this! It's all i have been looking forward to and more

GREYSCALE supremacy!!!!!!! color phone now is too bright and saturated and hurts my eyes! i do have a double tap feature on the back of my phone so i can toggle grayscale off occasionally to go into color to see a picture someone sent me, but otherwise i prefer grey now!

How do i get ur homescreen wallpaper color?😢

Have to plug AppBlock. Yes it's paid but it's life changing

[@michaelbrown7415]

HI Beatrice. Are you still using a time tracker like 'Now Then Pro'? I saw that you mentioned it like 4 or 5 years ago. I'm looking for a good way to track how I'm spending my time. Thanks.

[@Izzydroid.]

Wow long distance relationships are working 😮. I was so afraid 😟

[@omotayosatuyi252]

They rarely work

Video was great until you started screen rec. I stopped watching at that point and disliked the video. Great ideas though.
