Is there a brick/dumb phone where I can still use whatsapp?

Right, I have no self control and want to set a better example for my kids.

What I ideally want is a phone with no web browser but where I can still access whatsapp (unfortunately I need whatsapp to stay in the loop on various kid activities and elderly family member assistance).

The other things I use on my phone that aren't detrimental to me are: spotify, audible and google maps. But I can survive without these, just mentioning for completeness.

Apps/social media aren't my problem. It is more mindlessly reading the news or other random shite.

Anyone successfully dramatically reduced their screentime?
