I was once so addicted to YouTube shorts that even if I set a timer for it, I would bypass it a few days later by saying the infamous "jUsT 5 mOrE miUTES" and then go to sleep at 3:33 AM. I tried to remove the YouTube icon on the home screen....but...I could find it in the app drawer .
First time I heard of the Dump Phone on random ads, I tried it, and ...IT'S MAGICALLY WORKS, it actually reduces the mass of my screen times. Then I quickly realized that it's the app's [ I C O N ] that is too easy to IMAGINE and open, so you're addicted to it - no, your BRAIN is unconsciously addicted to the pattern, cuz your brain already imagines the pattern you open the app, then scroll that you subconsciously do it anyway to prove. And breaking those loops needs energy (motivation, I'm right?) and discipline for a long time.
