I realize that my phone is pretty destructive to myself and my family and I would consider a kosher phone but with a few things like maps with traveltimes and whatsapp but not general internet access for websurfing or watching shows. does such a phone exist where I can limit the apps and internet access?
something like guard your eyes or k9 wont work for me.

For sure. Do you have a TAG office near you? They should be able to make that happen.

What you're talking about it a kosher smartphone. In Israel this is very common. You can get a phone with a kosher appstore and only download what's on there. Or you can even download all the apps you want at the store and have them lock the store so you can't download anymore.

TAG is great place to start!

I was going to suggest https://www.thekosheros.com/ but I don't see whatsapp on any of the app store options.
I second TAG.

The safe telecom phone would probably be great for you.
(845) 694-7187
I’ve done a lot of research on this for my school and this company is impressive and very helpful.

I also recommend TAG.
I want to point out that I think it's amazing and beautiful that you are taking steps towards positive growth.
May Hashem bless you with a good year full of blessings in all areas.

there's also Meshimer and Geder. I think Meshimer allows whatsapp but maybe not for forwarding videos? They also allow Groupme and Hangouts.

Theres the Kaufman phone (I don't know how it's called officially), in Lakewood. It's a basic smartphone with no internet use. There's Text and email, Waze and several other apps allowed.
If it's interesting to you, I can get you the contact information. (I got it at my local cell phone store)

Yes safetelecom is the best my husband has had one for a few years now. There is no other kosher phone like this on the market. You have the option to include WhatsApp or not and also if u would like apps or not (all apps are kosher)
