The Best part of that time was not being expected to be personally available every minute of the day. The phone was a part of your house and not a part of you.
I will never understand why android removed the ability to easily set notifications per app and per contact. my blackberry and my first android were great for that
now my phone just lives on silent and I’ll maybe respond to somebody within a few days

I’m just not and people get used to it. I take some days to answer to texts, often leave my phone where I can’t hear it and it kind of works fine. If it’s really important, people usually try several times.
I like the DND feature that mutes everything but rings for repeated calls within a certain time frame - that way if it’s something important enough, I can get notified the second time around, otherwise I can toss my phone somewhere and not be bothered until I decide to look at it again.
Same here. I check it a couple of times per day but rarely have it on my person all the time. It’s usually on mute or vibrate, and I’ve set most notifications to hidden/silent except for the ones that matter to me.
It was fine.
