Does a mobile phone exist that does not have access to the internet (I.e. no temptation to mindlessly browse) but I can still access Messenger and WhatsApp?

I need a new phone and want to cut down on internet use but I still need access to whatsapp and messenger as on various friends group where arrangements are made. I know I could block access but there would be too much temptation! Does it exist? Obviously I know you need internet access to get WhatsApp... I want to slim down digital use and spend my time doing useful things!

Don't think so. You could just delete safari / google?

Well I doubt it as you need to be able to download the apps so it needs an AppStore of some kind. Just don't download the other apps!

Just get the Forest app – it's cut down my browsing time significantly.

You might be better looking for an app that you can download which would block certain apps/websites?

Sorry the answer is will power but reducing your internet package so browsing is expensive helps!
