Gen Z Is Ditching Smartphones for Dumb Phones | The New Digital Detox Trend Explained | GRAVITAS

A growing number of Gen Z users are abandoning smartphones in favor of "dumb phones" as they seek relief from social media addiction, endless notifications, and digital burnout.

Instead of expensive smartphones packed with apps, many are switching to basic flip phones and minimalist devices that focus on calling and texting while eliminating distractions from Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms.

Experts say the trend reflects increasing concerns about mental health, screen addiction, and excessive social media use. According to research from the American Psychological Association, the average U.S. teenager spends nearly five hours a day on social media, prompting many young people to rethink their relationship with technology.
