Gen Z’s flip phone hack could finally break your drunk texting habit

And while the flip phone certainly fits the image of the early 2000s, it serves a higher purpose.

Sammy Palazzolo’s TikToker went viral after she shared a video explaining why she takes a flip phone with her to a party.

Sammy said: “We don’t take out our regular phones anymore because we’ve realized that every problem we face at a party, anything that leads to us crying, anything that leads to us having a bad romance, everything that leads to a bad time for us, stems from our phone.

Sammy insisted that not having a smartphone at hand means you are “always in the present moment.”

“It will eliminate random drunk posts, it will eliminate drunk texts, it will eliminate bad links,” she said. “It removes all the bad stuff…and brings all the good stuff into a phone that lets you connect with people and take photos and videos.”

Sammy then added a hack to the hack. She said: “The dream is that we all get flip phones that we just get, and in our flip phones we only have each other’s phone numbers.”

She finished by saying “make the switch, fuck your phone and get a flip.”

Genius.

And if Gen Z wisdom doesn’t convince you, celebrities are swapping out their iPhones for retro buttons too.

Camille Cabello took to her social media last month to announce that she is “commanding a flip phone revolution.”
