Me too. Except instagram I started using afterward, and my engagement with it was much different. I just put some riding photos up from time to time and I only have good friends on there. No spam and my friends are rad so I don't get the social showboating or preaching. I reduced phone usage in general, and I would only open the app once every couple of days and that's normally to post a picture.

My main change about how I use my phone is that I only touch it when I have a task to achieve, and that is frankly very infrequent. It also doesn't go everywhere with me. If I can do something on my PC later I prefer that to using the phone.

Convenience is not a substitute for substance and I have found myself happier when I delay things to be done thoughtfully later rather than getting them done now.
