A quieter phone
Most of the advice here is about taking things away. Some of it works, some of it is folklore that everybody repeats, and one of the most beloved tips has almost nothing behind it.
This section is less desperate than the others. Nobody arrives here at one in the morning. They arrive on a Sunday, wondering whether the thing in their pocket has to be quite so loud, and willing to spend an afternoon on it.
So the register is different: more experiment, more screenshots, more permission to conclude that the answer is to delete the app rather than to guard it. When that is the honest answer we say so, and we lose the click, and that is fine.
Where to start
Do the settings pass, rebuild the home screen, find out which beloved tip does not hold up, then read the one about walking, which is the only thing on this site that has never failed anybody.

How he does this bit
Treats come from walking, roughly two thousand steps for one, and one treat buys five minutes past a shield. They cannot be bought. They will never be sold. His affection cannot be purchased, only walked for.
Or put a dog on the door.
Free to start, one whole rule, every safety rail. He does not know your passcode and does not want it.
