Hey everyone, I was entertaining the thought of going away from owning a smart phone.

I already have a modded ipod classic that I use as my main music player.

I also know how to use a paper map.

I also have the Microsoft authentication app for work (I could just use my phone on wifi mode for this)

The last issue I have is WhatsApp where I communicate with friends and family around the world.

Is there a way to use WhatsApp on a non-smart phone? Or should I just buy a pixel and install a secure rom?

    I don’t think the key to getting away from your phone is to buy another.

    if your friends aren’t gonna support your switch, and you therefore need WhatsApp. maybe those people don’t care enough.

    I had this, when I switched to an old LG L70 and WhatsApp didn’t run, so I switched to telegram, and less than a handful of my “friends” even bothered. Glad to say I cut ties with the rest :).
