He’s always on his phone 24/7, I know he’s not cheating but it makes me curious. But like I want his attention and for him to talk more with me. How do I get that? We been together for over a year. He’s an honest guy. I know he watches a lot of YouTube videos of gaming or fishing. But how can I connect with him more for him to disconnect with his phone?
It's understandable that you want more quality time and attention from your boyfriend. Here are some tips that might help:
1. Have an open conversation with him about how you feel and express your concerns. Let him know that you feel neglected when he's always on his phone and that you would like to spend more quality time together.
2. Set boundaries together. You can agree on specific times of the day when you both put away your phones and focus on each other.
3. Plan activities that you both enjoy doing together. This could be anything from going for a walk, cooking a meal together, or watching a movie.
4. Ask him to involve you in his interests. If he likes gaming or fishing, ask him to teach you how to play or take you fishing with him. This way, you can both enjoy his hobbies together.
5. Lastly, lead by example. Put away your own phone when you're spending time with him to show him that you value your time together.
Remember, it's important to be patient and understanding. Breaking the habit of being constantly on our phones can be difficult, but with effort and commitment, it is possible to strengthen your relationship and create more meaningful moments together.

If I were you, I would try the ole reverse psychology on him:
The idea is to make it sound as if the whole phone thing is your problem and not his. Say something like...
I value our time together and I think I need to start making an effort to be off my phone more when we are together, so I can give you my undivided attention. Sometimes I feel like I am ignoring you when I am texting friends, etc., and I never want you to think I am.
Would you be okay shutting off our phones when we are together, so I can be sure I am doing my part to stay connected?
Simply tell him...It's Either Me or The Phone... Make your mind up right now.
Sounds he likes his phone more than he does you. He needs to make a choice.

Take him on a fishing trip, far away from telecom towers.
It is a marvel and a curse. I am grateful my brain is not addicted to the fake crap that people worship on digital media.
I guess you would have to start talking to him more about his interests I may be trying to distract him by wearing something more risky
“ Pay attention to me! 😡”
Give him a reason to be off of it
