Singer Lily Allen revealed in an interview that her husband, actor David Harbour, has control over the apps she can have on her phone. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Allen shared that she now uses a phone with “no browsing capability and no social media.” “The creative side of my brain has been ruined by smartphones. I don’t know anyone who could possibly say that the quality of their life is improved by the presence of a smartphone,” said Allen. She believes it’s “horrendous” that phones are “designed to be so addictive,” as many people have addictive personalities. The ‘Smile’ singer went on to explain that she controls what apps her husband has on his phone too. Allen also admitted that she has taken her two daughters’ phones away as she’s afraid of the dangers of letting kids have smartphones.
