Do you have old smartphones lying around collecting dust? Instead of letting them sit unused, you can turn them into automated money-making tools through phone farming.
In this blog, you’ll discover how to earn passive income using your old Android devices, the best apps to install, and how to manage everything from one place — even if you’re a complete beginner.
♻️ Why Old Phones Are Perfect for Farming
They still connect to Wi-Fi
Can run lightweight apps
No need for SIM cards or active use
Reduces e-waste while making money
Great starting point for low-cost passive income
Many users in the UAE have access to 2–3 retired phones — a perfect way to test mobile income ideas without buying anything new.
📲 How to Prepare an Old Phone for Farming
Factory Reset It – Clear all data and start fresh
Install Only the Needed Apps – Stick to 2–3 reward or passive apps per phone
Disable Background Sync & Updates – To save power and prevent slowdowns
Keep Brightness Low – To avoid screen burn-in
Use Wi-Fi Only Mode – No SIM needed
Place It on a Rack or Stand – With proper airflow
💰 Top Apps That Work Great on Older Devices
CashMagnet – Designed for low-resource devices
Honeygain – Uses Wi-Fi bandwidth, not CPU
EarnApp – Another passive data-sharing tool
Swagbucks Watch – Lightweight ad-reward app
Timebucks (Web View) – Works through browser access too
Even if each phone earns just AED 10–30/month, multiple devices add up over time.
