Gen Z's Reason for Leaving Smartphones

Some members of Gen Z are starting to leave their smartphones behind and switch to simple phones. The reason for this is attributed to the negative effects of social media on health. Young people want to do digital detox and reduce screen time. Simple phones do not provide access to social media apps, but offer some basic features.

Some members of Gen Z prefer simple phones because they want to break free from their addiction to social media. Social media is particularly prevalent among young people, and some experts say that some design features of social media are prone to creating addiction.

Reducing or completely stopping social media use can bring benefits such as better sleep quality, more focus, and less stress in the long run.
