No twitter? I don't tweet but I subscribe to news/sports/finance people I like. So, it's a news source for me.

YouTube

...that's it. And, when I think of this, I often think do I really need a smartphone.

I guess YouTube does require a smartphone. But you could consider a $25 smartphone instead of a $1000 smartphone.

Curious to know what other people mainly use their phone for?

I mainly use it for,

1. Calls, texting and photos. I rarely and I mean rarely use it for listening to music.
2. Watching videos (maybe 2 or 3 Youtube videos a week).
3. I use Google maps maybe 3 times a month.
4. I check social media (Facebook) once or twice daily.
5. I use internet mainly to google something, maybe 2 or 3 times daily.

I never ever use it for games or movies. This is probably why I don't have problems with battery drain.

1. I use my phone for work (run an in-home care business). I literally use a website called Sembracare and help run the entire business from my phone. I use a computer maybe twice a week when I’m in the office. The rest of the week all ran from the phone.

2. Podcast

3. Books

4. School work sometimes (Blackboard app).

5. News.

(I have no social media or games on my phone).
