I could probably live without iMessage (though I wouldn't love it), but the one thing I really cannot live without is a great camera. My child is still young, my wife and I are still enjoying ourselves (when we have time), and I really do cherish the photos. I know I could get a separate camera, but it's not the as being able to snap photos spontaneously.

What I really want is a super reliable way to block social media from my iPhone, only allowing a short window per day.

I use "Freedom", but it doesn't reliably block things, and I end up cheating.

Screen Time can work well for this. Block both apps and websites (the "Social" category makes this straightforward), then ask your gatekeeper tp "Lock Screen Time Settings" on your phone and keep the PIN to themselves.
