It's a pretty big problem over here too, but it seems normalized, because most parents are just as addicted to their phones. Many give really young kids (2yo) tablets so they can be distracted. You see them sitting in strollers watching youtube while their parents are shopping or even playing with their own phones.
I have a family member who is addicted to their phone. They're failing classes and get really angry when it's taken away. All they do is scroll Instagram all day. Their parents tell me that they can't take it away, because all friends have one too.
