#AppFatigue IPA: /æp/ /fəˈtiːɡ/ (n) The tendency to NOT install new apps on your mobile phone because you finally understand that most apps should just be a website so you can seamlessly use a service on a PC, laptop, tablet or mobile device.

@jwildeboer Until it's fatigue fatigue?
@eliasp Ah, yes. Niklas Luhmann Style

Also a sign of distrust as apps are black boxes with access to a lot of data sources that invade your privacy in ways you can hardly quantify.
Exactly, I find I suffer from that myself. Hardly any new apps are installed on my phone.

I noticed that I simply stopped caring about new apps a few years ago. When I get a new mobile phone, I have a rather small set of apps I install and that list is more or less the same since many years. Banking app, Signal, and a few more.
@jwildeboer exactly the same here, plus seriously starting to follow alternative OS options for smart phones

@jwildeboer For Android (I only use it as e-OS) see what https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/ has to say of the application you use or think of using.
