How to address social media addiction within friend groups

My friend group has lost the ability to hang out without everyone constantly taking photos for social media and checking notifications, but when I bring up doing phone-free activities I get pushback because people say I'm being controlling. We all say we miss deeper connection but we can't seem to create it together anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A social circle where the tools meant to enhance connection have become barriers to authentic presence.
