I use my phone for all kinds of things, to be honest. Mostly, I use it to stay in touch with friends and family through messaging apps. I also check the news, watch videos, and scroll through social media when I have free time. Sometimes I use it for practical stuff too, like setting reminders, checking the weather, or using maps. It’s basically my all-in-one tool for both work and entertainment.
