Radiofrequency emitted by cell phones depletes dopamine. Depleted dopamine induces phone addiction.

u/JustinHanagan omitted all this in his request.

His request should have been automatically denied because all four mods of r/phoneaddiction are active on Reddit.

I am the head mod. My post quickly was removed from the front page. It is not in the spam filter. A Redditor PM me that the link to my post was broken. Though I can read it. I will copy and paste my post:

Without asking u/JustinHanagan unstickied the post announcing our wiki index. He stickies his website. He removed the link to the wiki index in About Community. He removed some of my posts. I asked why. No answer. I demodded him and banned him. (self.phoneaddiction)

Moderation log does not disclose who unbanned him and sent invitation to mod. This sub is nine years old. Almost the entire moderation log has been deleted.

u/JustinHanagan again unstickied the wiki announcement. Reddit enables two posts that can stickies. No need to sticky mine.

The wiki index has studies published in medical journals. had I given u/JusticeHanagan mod access to the wiki index, he would have deleted it.

u/JusticeHanagan removed the referral to r/electromagnetics in About Community. r/electromagnetics Has hundreds of studies published in medical and scientific journals. r/electromagnetics refers r/phoneaddition in its About Community.

He replaced r/electromagnetics with r/nosurf and r/StopGaming. Years ago, r/nosurf refused to reciprocate by referring r/phoneaddition. Thus, we should not do them a favor for referring them. Unless r/StopGaming is willing to reciprocate, referral to them will be deleted. Would anyone like to ask r/StopGaming?

This is the third wiki index I wrote that was censored. The other two wiki indexes were in other subs.

r/phoneaddiction, r/electromagnetics, and r/RadioQuietZone need more mods and wiki contributors to archive posts into wikis. Please volunteer.

Tremendous hacking. I had banned u/justinHanagan. Today, he was unbanned again. I banned him again. The moderation log should disclose that he was unbanned and by who. The log does not.

Initially, addiction was in r/electromagnetics. I moved it to r/phoneaddiction. That was a mistake. For years, no one else modded. This year, u/justiceHanagan volunteered to mod to censor this sub.

On December 21, 2022, I have made r/phoneaddiction private. I brought addiction back to r/electromagnetics. Go to r/electromagnetics. r/electromagnetics has passive mods who protect the sub from being taken over in r/redditrequest. r/electromagnetics has only one active mod. Me. u/microwavedindividual also known as u/microwavedalt. If you would like to mod or archive wikis, please send a modmail in r/electromagnetics. After someone volunteers to read modmail, your modmail will be read.

I invited r/phoneaddiction's two new mods u/4183937645294 and u/Old_Adhesiveness2214 to mod r/electromagnetics.

So hi guys I have been addicted to my phone constantly from morning to night im just sticked with it and it’s dangerous I guess I’m too much addicted to I think bcuz I’m just introvert and don’t have a life or hobby what should i do can someone help me ?

I don't know where to post this so here we go. I am an addict to my smartphone. If I am not watching shorts on yt, I am browsing reddit. If I am doing chores, I need a podcast in background. I need to watch netflix while eating, I need to have a self improvement video in the background (irony) while driving. I need to have focussing music while studying. I come back home and immediately get onto gaming ignoring all other household duties. I live alone, so there is little self discipline. I fall asleep tired with some random yt vid playing in the background. I spend most of my waking hours with earphones on, which has started hurting my ears. I wake up everyday watching stuff on my phone. These have severely affected my work and studies to a point where I am constantly failing to function properly. Whenever, I shut my phone off and remove my earphones I feel like Neo getting out of that pod. My mental and physical health have severely taken a toll, so I have decided to practice my own form of NNN which is No Net November. The November is almost done, but idc I just want to practice staying off my phone for a month or so. I have no experience in consistency or discipline. This is purely out of a wish to live a better life.

I'm new to this channel and am looking for advice on getting more control of my smartphone usage. Originally, I was looking to trade in my phone to get a Pixel 7 Pro as it gives a better financial value/bang for my buck for my trade-in compared to the same trade-in for an iPhone 14 Pro. I also like the Pixel 7 Pro's 1440p display and Android UI features as well.

But I feel that my smartphone usage has grown to unhealthy levels, somedays my daily hours put in can be around 12-15 hours. It's distracted me from seeking physical social activity with friends and more importantly it can significantly affect me academically as I soon could be entering medical school.

It's why I'm considering switching to an iPhone. With it's not-as-easeful UI and lower resolution display compared to Android phones, it could deter me from using my smartphone too much. What are y'all's thoughts about this? Is it worth putting in hundreds of dollars more for a new phone post-trade-in than getting a Pixel 7 Pro with a better trade-in deal to control my smartphone usage? Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

made this quiz to gage interest and to find statistics about my major design project ,if you could answer the Form quickly for me on the Google Form it would help me with my projects breakdown and statistics

white bear. Everyone recording her freaking out and not speaking to her just recording her. they said "that a signal is being transmitted that has turned most of the population into dumb voyeurs" and honestly it fits most of tiktok users including myself. We want to catch it on video. Whenever I hear about some horrific accident that is being ignored and not investigated, but some how on tik tok there are 40 different angles of that exact crime. That potential of being the person who says "i got it on video" is almost a power move now and it has made everyone even more vulnerable to the bystander effect.

I'm desperately looking for an app.

My wife's average daily use is down right now to about 7 hours. And that is with the built in Digital Wellbeing app set. She has pretty much zero self control after about 5 days of making any change in anything in her life. So I expect it to go back up to average 11 hrs a day. Many days as high as 13 hr. When she is down on her time, it's simply replaced with sleeping in longer. That lack of movement and a medical condition, people of her size don't live long.

Luckily she knows she has a problem and is very willing to give me control. So I am looking for that control in an app.

Please tell me if this exists. We want an app that lets me control her allowable screen time from my phone. With no controls on her end to extend it, only on my end. What we want is something where I can set her screen time to something low, but if throughout the day she send me pictures of her exercising, or that she cleaned something around the house, or whatever, I can remotely extend her time.

We fully understand the gravity of the request for this control, and how many would feel this is exactly what it is. The husband controlling the wife. But we are at witts end. I work a stressful full time job, run a stressful full time side hustle, and am trying to start a bigger business to replace both so I don't have to work so hard to make a living. Yet I am still the one that is responsible for all the grocery shopping, housework, picking up after my family, yard work, and much more.

I'm in for an early grave at this rate. Desperate.

I've deleted social media from my phone and blocked all notifications, but I still find that a smartphone with internet access and a browser is enough to make me mindlessly scroll through ""content"". I thought of switching to an LTE tablet with all the essential apps installed (like WhatsApp, Signal, Banking). I'd leave the tablet mostly at home, and using a dumbphone / smartphone without any apps when I'm out and about.

The only thing that keeps me is that there's barely any info out there on anyone ever trying that. Found like 2-3 old youtube videos and two fairly outdated blog posts.

Is there a catch? Did anyone here ever try it? If so, what was it like and can you recommend it?

Not sure how to describe it, but does anyone else have a physical drive/urge to go to their phone even when they try and keep away from it?

It’s like almost a feeling in my hands, back of my mind that I NEED to go and get my phone?

Going through a rough patch in life. Yesterday, I had my eye opener moment when I saw my phone usage at 11 hours. I was shocked how did I reach this point. My average usage earlier used to be around 4 hours. Most time spent was scrolling through Instagram, looking at people and their fake life. All the sophisticated profiles and near perfect life, it hit me hard, what am I doing doing here? So I deleted both meta apps. They're the worst I think. Next on my list is Twitter, telegram, reddit and YouTube.

I have one request, can you'll recommend any app which helps us with tracking this addiction?

Hi Guys !

Like you all, I was down this road to becoming a Phone-addict-free person a few months ago. I tried and tested a lot of methods. Few worked but lasted just a few days while others didn't even work (For me).

For the past few months, I have been working on an app to make our generation free from Phone Addiction. The app will have a screen timer that a user can set for as many apps he/she wants (preferably the ones that consume the most time) say Instagram, Youtube, Twitter etc. Now say a person has set a time limit for 1hr daily max usage of Youtube. As soon as the limit is reached the app will stop functioning (I know till here almost all the leading mobile brands have an inbuilt app for this purpose - In Samsung, it's called Digital Wellbeing for instance).

However, now comes the twist. In the currently existing solutions, one can change the limit at any time (even after the limit is reached). So a user can change the Youtube limit from 1hr to say 2hr and continue using the phone. However, Habittrr is a revolutionary app in which the user cannot update the timer once it's set for the next few days. And in case of urgency to use the app, one has to pay a Penalty. The app is under Construction and I would like to know your valuable comments and insights on this (This isn't a promotional post. However if it felt like one, I am sorry)

Below is the link to join the waitlist in case you want to be a part of this revolution.

Please provide me with your valuable feedback and suggestions

I’ve been dealing with my phone addiction for probably months now. I’ve tried so many different things to help get over it but nothing sticks. I think I just need more self discipline overall and holding myself accountable. Tiktok is probably my biggest enemy. It sucks me right now. But so do other social medias. I want to get to a point where I can function without it. But it’s so hard.

I had a lightbulb moment when I was doomscrolling this morning, thinking how I wanted to go for a run but like every day ended up spending too much time on my phone to be able to do anything else before work. Realised that if I didn't have my phone, I'd have that moment of maybe boredom thinking what to do, but then would have actually gone for a run to plug that gap. Instead I just scrolled through crap on Instagram.

My first steps are I'm going to use an alarm clock, and turn my phone off at night so I don't start scrolling as soon as I hit snooze. I'm also going to get my watch repaired so I don't check my phone for the time and get distracted by notifications.

Any other little easy changes anyone can recommend to be less reliant / distracted by my phone would be hugely appreciated! Thanks

Hi Reddit, I know this is a weird question, but I'm a teen who likes to stay connected with friends, and unfortunately my friends like to use Instagram for our group conversations. We've agreed it's just a nice and easy to use platform. I also really like posting photos on my Instagram. However, I find some posts, especially reels, to be extremely distracting and a time-suck and want to stop wasting time looking at those specific posts. I would totally delete the app but I'd rather take things slow.

Is there some sort of add-on I can install on my phone to block distracting posts?
