Hennell • Dev @hennell.dev · 01/06/2026I made my phone wait 10+ seconds in between shorts/reels etc so I don't get sucked in when someone sends me one. Not sure I'd want to slow the whole phone, but adding a bit of friction to things you want to avoid it works well. Black and white mode also slows my phone use a lot. 000
