What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?

By far my most favorite use is as a notepad that I always have with me. I use a custom keyboard to make typing faster and more accurate.

Anything y'all like to do with your phones that you feel like most people miss out on?

Wdym "that doesn't spy on you"?

It doesn't request location access, it doesn't request contact or phone access, it doesn't require you to sign into a microsoft account, it doesn't constantly send data back home, etc... It only requests file permission and camera permission while you are using the app. A lot of apps harvest your data, and the entire Windows OS is built around harvesting your data and spying on your every click. This app doesn't seem to do that as far as anyone can discern.

Its not open source, you don't know if they're going to log every thing you scan for targeted advertising (google makes its revenue from ads)

True, but through pihole, you can see if your phone makes pings to microsoft servers during use.
