When parents disagree about family smartphone boundaries

My teenage kids are on their phones constantly and my spouse and I disagree about how much to intervene and when I try to create phone-free time I'm the bad guy and my spouse undermines me by being on their phone too. We're not unified and the kids can sense it and play us against each other.
