President Donald Trump likes to use Twitter, but that doesn’t mean he surfs the internet.

Trump’s phone doesn’t even have a web browser on it, the New York Times reported on Friday:

Mr. Kelly cannot stop Mr. Trump from binge-watching Fox News, which aides describe as the president’s primary source of information gathering. But Mr. Trump does not have a web browser on his phone, and does not use a laptop, so he was dependent on aides like Stephen K. Bannon, his former chief strategist, to hand-deliver printouts of articles from conservative media outlets.

Earlier this year, White House officials said that Trump had started using an iPhone, a change from his previous Samsung Galaxy S3.

But the presidential iPhone isn’t configured like most people’s phones. In fact, it only has one app on it: Twitter, according to Axios.

You may be wondering how you could configure your phone like Trump’s. You can’t delete the Safari web browser app like most apps, by holding down on it until it wiggles and clicking the “x” on its upper-left corner.
