I used Apple Configurator on my mac to supervise my iphone. Once that's done, you use configurator to add a profile to the device that (1) contains an allowlist of apps that can be used and (2) an empty allowlist of websites that can be visited. #1 means you can't use any new apps, and #2 prevents the ability to browse the internet by sending links to yourself in e.g. messenger or whatsapp.
Interesting. But the list of apps on there is huge! Is it really still a dumbphone? Tha just looks like the apps I already have on my phone, and I still feel like I use my phone too much. What other apps do people have that are so addictive? Games, socials?

This might be how they did it:
