Absolutely agree.

Note that modern flip/soapbar phones (Commodore, KaiOI) usually support some social media, including WhatsApp.

Banking apps are a problem though, and really contribute locking everyone in the iOS/Android duopoly, and that sucks.

That's why I prefer my Wisephone 2. You can still use slack, whatsapp, teams, banking apps, spotify, google maps, etc. But there is no browser, email, youtube, tiktok, etc., either.
