I don't think people really want dumbphones, I think they just want apps that better support their self-control. Digital Wellbeing on Android is a start, but it's way too easy to bypass.
I want people to stop thinking that their little quip to me is of the utmost importance. I want people to wait a few hours to tell me something instead of calling me while I'm driving and act insulted when I tell them to hurry up because I'm either driving or pulled over.
If you don’t like being disturbed while driving you should use do not disturb while driving.
I'm a farmer. There's always the chance the someone is hurt in a field and is calling for help.
Sounds like you need to set better boundaries with people you know. Or block their texts.

I'm taking about people spamming him with messages when it's not an emergency.
