I do not keep social media apps on my phone. However, I am extraordinarily guilty of pulling up FB on my phone browser and scrolling. It's an extra step, though, so I've likely saved some hours.

I considered switching to a flip phone in 2019 but realized how incredibly useful google maps is for estimated driving times and being alerted to traffic issues in relatively real time. This would be a significant loss.

I use my phone for music and its connected to my Garmin for directions while running. These things, in addition to having live tracking while I am running, negate the wins had by switching to a flip phone. So for now, I have it on me. I hate writing emails on my phone so don't check email much, only use Kindle on flights, and don't struggle with looking at it when socializing unless everyone else is attached to a screen and distracted. Overall, my use of it could be a lot worse, but it could be a lot better as well.
