It is for sure better since patch 08/30/22 but still too much phone-idle, especially with hiking.
As sample I used 8 elders for hiking. I used 8 premade sims for this test and as, so they started hiking the first played this idle then the next and in the end it was under 0,01% that they all just hiking without phone out. Sure, for my liking they still use this phone-idle too much, but it was not so aggressive as with hiking. (Screen 1 and 2)
Really, just remove the idle from age state adult and senior or let the player choose if played sim can use this idle. I really don’t know how people can still play stone age/decades challenge without mod which remove this new idle; this idle would ruin this challenge complete for me.
