Pixel Dungeon is a great pickup/putdown game. Highly recommend.

TikTok, unfortunately.
I'm one of those psychos who flash custom roms just because I can, so that is a big time consuming activity I have with my phone, other than that I usually use Sync for Lemmy, Sync for Reddit, Pocket Casts, Spotify, Feeder/Feedly and Firefox Beta, among other apps.
A duck!
I'm not qualified to answer that
I like to look at different cooking techniques and recipes. You have to eat everyday, why not make it fun and delicious!
I am certainly not normal, but I either go on Lemmy through Voyager, or play geometry dash. I also sometimes read books with Librera.
If you really want to detox, then put the phone down. Order some magazines, read some books, talk to some people. I did that for 6 months when I was completely overwhelmed and my entire psyche changed. But I eventually craved the interaction, so here I am.
I do a lot of podcasts and play pokemon on my phone. Emulators are amazing
Lemmy. Or Google news... Or like.. Snapchat I guess.. Snapchat maps is cool to see what people post all over the world. One night I spent like a few hours over Hawaii and Japan snaps.
People in Saudi Arabia mostly post themselves driving with loud music.
I read the news. Feedly rss reader which opens the articles directly into Firefox with no script, ublock and bypass paywalls add-ons. Very easy to concentrate on the article content when there are no nags or ads on the screen.
My phone has an FM tuner, so I usually listen to local radio stations. Sometimes I watch TV shows or movies I downloaded on the SD card, but I prefer watching videos on a larger screen when possible. Cell service is crap around here, so streaming is not very practical.
Libby. If I am sitting for awhile, then I'll make progress in whatever book I'm reading. I keep my library card churning with novels, science fiction, cookbooks and whatever book a friend has recently recommended. I mix in audio books while I'm driving. Average about two books a month or so.
Occasionally I'll browse recipes and silly cat videos on Instagram if I'm just killing 30 seconds in line at the grocery. And then lemmy about once a day just for current events.
I practice chess on lichess and look up sports scores. Or else I go on Lemmy. I look at my phone a lot less now. Finishing games I never got to finish. Talk to my family more. Stuff like that
I am the wrong person to ask about this, but I read ebooks, play games, go on fora.
My wife cruises Facebook marketplace and other similar sites and buys furniture which she then resells at a profit. But I doubt that's very common either.
Social media and fact checking stuff
youtube, texting videos
I'm reading ebooks with ReadEra (adfree and unrestricted in the free version, bought it during some 50% sale to support the dev).
Else I'm reading news (news.google.com with a highly curated blocklist of >150 sites) and play a bunch of word games like Wordle, Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, crosswordle, fibble, symble, thirdle, warmle and whatever else.
