        This kind of “dumb” phones are not typically marketed to privacy and security cautious people like us. They are trying to mostly reach regular people that want to “detox” from social media but at the same time also have a usable device. Like it or not especially in Europe everyone uses WhatsApp to communicate, so it is something that most regular people consider necessary.
