The average American spent 2.5 months on their phone in 2024
- Dalewyn 2y agoI would just like to note that "on the phone" here seemingly doesn't include the actual act of being on the phone (read: making/taking phone calls).
- drchickensalad 2y agoIn fact if it's not a voice call it should probably be excluded, lol. I feel like semantically right now being on your phone refers to looking at the screen actively, even though that's very much not the origin of the phrase. Yet, nowadays the meaning of the phrase probably excluded when you're holding it to the side of your head, as you're not looking at a screen at all.
- onion2k 2y agoDoes anyone still do that?
- rr808 2y agoYeah my screen time includes maps navigation.
- jjgreen 2y agoI recall, pre-iPhone, sitting in a pub waiting for a friend to arrive, staring into the middle-distance. I noticed a young man sitting at the bar with a phone. He'd pick it up, check for messages, put it down, take a sip of beer then his leg would start to judder (he was on a bar stool), then repeat the whole thing. A cadence of around 45s. "What a weirdo" I thought to myself. Turns out I was the weirdo, heh.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoYep. When I worked at Apple and took the (Apple) bus to work, I would arrive early at the bus stop and wait with the other employees. Lined up, everyone had their phones out, staring down. Me, I was looking at the old out-of-comnmision payphone, at the cars going by, at the copies of "Avisador" in the busted newspaper stand. Boredom is a good thing for the brain. And, honestly, I must be of the older generation because I find nothing very interesting on my phone. It takes pictures and gives me directions. I'm a lap-topper.
- heartbreak 2y ago> I find nothing very interesting on my phone. It contains the entire Internet? If you see me on my phone at a bus stop, I’m probably reading a book.
- 2muchcoffeeman 2y agoThe internet is not really organised in a way for you to do anything useful if you are bored. There’s no “learn about the world” course you take when you have nothing else to do. In fact, all the stuff we’ve designed to capture attention is almost the exact opposite of a good use of the internet. I find it very difficult to queue up good content to read or listen to on a daily basis. And I try. Imagine all the people without the time to discover enough good content.
- hk__2 2y ago> There’s no “learn about the world” course you take when you have nothing else to do. Good newspapers usually allow you to do that.
- ibejoeb 2y ago> There’s no “learn about the world” course you take There's practically an undoable number of hours of free courses on Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy, and others. Thousands of hours of interesting material on youtube.
- kergonath 2y agoI used to think so, but with more experience a lot of dark patterns and perverse incentives are becoming obvious. These people are not there to explain something interesting in a useful way, they are there to get your eyeballs to extract money from advertising or a Patreon. They are not teaching you, they are making you think they teach you to make you feel satisfied and give them money. Of course some of them are actually good, but a lot are not really.
- kqr 2y agoThe years pre-iPhone I was one of the few high-intensity users of WAP. I used it to participate in forums and on IRC from all sorts of places. I guess I sort of saw the social-media-in-your-pocket thing coming a long way before it did.
- Dilettante_ 2y ago>high-intensity users of WAP A very professional way of saying you were getting a lot of play? /j
- grogenaut 2y agoPre palm tro I'd have a book or laptop or newspaper with me everywhere cause it was either that, doing highlights, or reading o magazine at the doctor. Though I learned some great recipes from o magazine. Pre Kindle I'd take around 15 lbs of books with me on trips. There's a joke in knpins about reading the shampoo bottle on the John. I've done that
- seb1204 2y agoYes, Cereal boxes and shampoo bottles, any text would do.
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoMethylchloroisothiazolinone, anyone? I did type it from memory so apologies if I got it wrong. I've read the shampoo bottle way too many times.
- grogenaut 2y agoselsun blue
- throw_pm23 2y agoNo, he was the weirdo. The fact that something is common does not make it normal. If you walked around Hong Kong in the 1880s you'd think you are a weirdo for not smoking opium all day. There will be a similar rude awakening after the current one.
- frereubu 2y agoI would always have a copy of The Economist, New Yorker, NYRB, LRB or similar when I was travelling around London, so avoiding boredom was a priority for me even then. Much more restful to read a physical magazine though, and the only thing to distract me from an article was other articles in the magazine or my surroundings rather than "maybe that comment on Hacker News has a few more upvotes now".
- Ntrails 2y agoA few years back I arrived at a venue sans phone* waiting for a date to arrive. I was early and she was late. It was actually incredible to get the visceral reminder of just how ingrained having my phone for distraction was to me. I didn't take any action but sometimes wonder if I should have. *I had lent my phone to a friend, who was using it to communicate with the person who had found their phone and making recovery/transfer easier... classic?
- adregan 2y agoAny easy way to aggregate all of one’s screen time data? On an iPhone, the data is limited to a few weeks in the screen time settings.
- Eumenes 2y agoSilicon Valley: How can we DOUBLE that?
- minzi 2y agoIs there any hope of turning this trend around or at least keeping it where it is? I don’t think that the months spent on my phone have benefited me or anyone I know.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoTo some degree I have made peace with it. Decades ago I would come home and crash in front of the TV — watching dreck. At least in the evening I think the mind needs to disengage, relax. That can be found in watching "Forensic Files" or playing online solitaire or scrolling through BlueSky. Perhaps reading would be a better substitute though.
- rchaud 2y agoTV is nowhere near as addictive as social media. Take it from someone who watched hours of it daily as a teenager and then barely even missed it upon going to college. Social media has all the niche stuff that wouldn't merit a 30-minute TV series. It's unpredictable, funny, local and international in ways TV never is.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- Dalewyn 2y agoGive it 10 or so years and The Thing(tm) will cycle around to the next thing. Previously it was gaming (namely consoles), before that was TV, before that was comic books, and so on. Every generation has its "Spends Too Much Time on The Thing(tm)" stereotype.
- sojournerc 2y agoI don't see this trend as generational though. There are just as many boomers as zoomers glued to their phones.
- hk__2 2y ago> Previously it was gaming (namely consoles), before that was TV, before that was comic books, and so on. Every generation has its "Spends Too Much Time on The Thing(tm)" stereotype. I feel like we spend way more time on our phones that what we (or they) used to do with consoles, TV, comic books and so on.
- markus_zhang 2y agoThat's like 5 hours per day? Doesn't seem the case for me even I consider myself pretty addicted. I don't even have 5 hours of free time in total, including poop and food time. But maybe average Americans do spend more time then me.

- smokel 2y ago> Reviews.org surveyed 1,000 Americans 18 years and older with a +/- 4% margin of error and a confidence level of 95%. [1] Can one just dictate the error margin on a survey now? [1] https://www.reviews.org/mobile/cell-phone-addiction/ https://www.reviews.org/mobile/cell-phone-addiction/
- epistasis 2y agoWhat do you mean by "dictate" or now"? Every survey always states the margin of error like that. Its a function of the sample size and introductory stats to get that number.
- smokel 2y agoI somehow doubt that they actually randomly sampled from a representative population. It's more likely that they use an online audience who likes to fill out review forms.
- epistasis 2y agoSo now you have a different complaint, without even addressing my questions? It's good to be truly skeptical, but to be completely contrary is a mental trap.
- smokel 2y agoI guess things went wrong with my sarcastic remark on being able to "dictate" the margin of error. With respect to statistics and online surveys, I'm not even skeptical but outright cynical. Calculating the margin of error with a standard deviation only works for representative samples, which reviews.org most likely is not able to provide. Adding these percentages and terms to the report gives a false sense of reliability, which annoys me. Still, I should probably not have resorted to sarcasm. My apologies for that.

- FollowingTheDao 2y agoThis Christmas, a relative's boyfriend was on his phone literally 90% of the time we were together. Even when we were opening presents. So I started talking to him. He kept looking at his phone but eventually he put it down. I just needed to get him talking about Lord of the Rings and it was over. Those of us who do not use phones at all we need to engage with these people who are suffering the worst. We need to show them that loneliness can be alleviated by other means. Please do not say this is all harmless either. The material they are looking at, and behavioral programing they are being subjecting to, is not harmless. I grew up watching old school TV, and I was never able to see anything remotely close to what an 11 year old can see today.
- tugu77 2y agoAs much as I'd like to support the overall sentiment of the article, or at least of the part that I actually read, the stats just don't pass the smell test. > If you’re like one of the Americans surveyed by Reviews.org, this is one of 205 times today that you’ll be checking the device in your hand. To spare you opening the calculator app, that’s about once every five minutes you are awake or two and a half full months out of your year. That just can't be true. First of all, it assumes 1 minute of spending at the phone, every of those 1 times per 5 minutes. Totalling 5 hours a day. On average for everybody. I'm sure there are some outliers like that, but there are tons of people out there for whom there is no way they would get even close. To top it off, their sample was surely neither random nor representative. Of course you get heavily biased data if you are asking a tech crowd. I stopped reading at this point. Garbage in, garbage put, i.e. whatever conclusion they were eventually drawing was not based on actual facts.
- create-username 2y ago5:30 hours a day. 90 pickups a day. Averages for the week
- stavros 2y agoWait, why would you text someone in the same room? Like, to send them a video you're watching?
- aaomidi 2y agoYes. Or memes. Or political threads. Etc
- pawurb 2y agoI'm 100% happy with my Nokia 110, only using smart phone at home for banking apps etc. Highly recommend switching to dumb phone for everyday use.
- create-username 2y agoI’m looking forward to getting an Apple Watch with cellular service to be reachable although a dumb phone would be way cheaper now that you mention it
- nunez 2y agoLol, as if Apple would let you off that easily! The watch can't have a cellular plan of its own. It must be associated with the plan that's on the iPhone it's tethered to. If you use a dummy iPhone for this purpose, then the SIM for your primary number needs to be on that phone.
- create-username 2y agoThe carrier charges 5 € a month for the Multisim service
- raincole 2y agoIs this "reviews.org" credible at all? The fact this article has "Best cell phone plans" in the middle of it tells me NO.
- award_ 2y agoIf this was a legit study I'd expect an arXiv link or similar instead. Looking at their methodology, it's vague enough to be interpreted as 'ok' but really I'd expect ALOT more information on their sample distributions, weighting done to that sample for comparison, etc. It skimps on all the actual details. Seems like clickbaity junk to me, but I'm open to the idea that there is meaningful studies to be had here on this subject, or that this was done in a proper way but was communicated poorly. Reviews.org surveyed 1,000 Americans 18 years and older with a +/- 4% margin of error and a confidence level of 95%. The survey results were weighted to reflect characteristics of the United States population using available data from the US census. Respondents were asked to refer to their phone’s screen time report to determine the average number of times per day they check their phones, in addition to how much time in total they spend on their phones per day.

- chickenfeed 2y agoI wouldn't say it's all trash, but I find TV like this. I loathe most of it finding it pretty vacuous. I am still drawn to it. We had a defining realisation last year when we found a Youtube channel where a guy cleans carpets. I found it more nutritionally satisfying than 99% of programming on the TV. It was and is totally eye-opening. I have a similar draw to nature. I can watch wild animals doing their thing. And get some entertainment with curtain twitching. I think it's just that inherent human thing - watching. I do like reading. The minutes I do this are ever dwindling through competition for my idle brain.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- chickenfeed 2y agoI was very late to the party getting a smartphone. Didn't stop me picking up my laptop repeatedly. Visiting the same old haunts. I have yet to install Facebook or Whatsapp or similar. I think it would be the death of me. I spend way too much time on my phone/computer. I was in a care giving role and felt it couldn't leave my side. Since losing that person, I now rejoice in being able to leave my phone. Heck I didn't turn it on yesterday. And it has been sitting in the kitchen all day today. The telephone does fill me with existential dread as most communication with me is asking me for something or alerting me to something negative. Perhaps that's an age thing. Whereas the Internet is still pleasurable but a complete and utter time suck.
- timnetworks 2y ago> Perhaps that's an age thing Sorry for your loss. It's a false sense of urgency thing. The kids just grow calloused to it, culminating in e.g. completely ignoring the door bell. I had a friend that decided to essentially go off the grid around 2000-2005, he's my age (gen-z), I remember him showing me a website he was developing with javascript and IE. Now he's asking me to help with the Google Play / Mac App stuff because it makes no sense to him. It isn't an age thing.
- MattGaiser 2y agoIn an age of smartphones, nobody would think of ringing my doorbell without texting first. Deliveries come with notifications. An unexpected door ring at this point is probably someone I don't want to bother dealing with like a salesperson.
- bpicolo 2y ago> 27% use or look at their phone while driving The other 73% aren't admitting it. When I've driven down the street, seeing someone not on their phone is a rarity.
- CalRobert 2y agoBeing in a tall vehicle (like a double decker bus) - it is horrifying how many people are on their phones.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- walthamstow 2y agoIn traffic, this number approaches 90%. I see it through every window as I cycle past the queues. The funniest is when the lights go green and a large gap opens up in the traffic because someone has got sucked into their phone and forgot they were driving. Remarkably common.
- nunez 2y agoI call it the three-second pause. It's always three to five seconds.
- Brajeshwar 2y agoI just finished reading Jonathan Haidt’s “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Caused an Epidemic of Mental Illness.” It is a good read, especially for parents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anxious_Generation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anxious_Generation
- sangnoir 2y agoI think there's a lot that's wrong with phones, but I can't help but think of scares from decades past that were laser-focused on inducing parental panic, but turned out not to be as harmful as initially reported: the fears of Rock 'n Roll making teenagers out-of-control lascivious horndogs, the Satanic panic, DARE/war on drugs, etc.
- dv_dt 2y agoI often stream music or cast video thru the phone and do something like make dinner or clean, i suspect that time is in there too
- lanna 2y agoReminds me of this meme: https://i.redd.it/silx0aw4a1v51.jpg https://i.redd.it/silx0aw4a1v51.jpg Our phones replaced numerous different devices. All the time we used to spend watching TV, listening to music, reading books, getting the news, playing games, talking to friends is now done on our phones.

- lolinder 2y ago> Methodology > Reviews.org surveyed 1,000 Americans 18 years and older with a +/- 4% margin of error and a confidence level of 95%. The survey results were weighted to reflect characteristics of the United States population using available data from the US census. Absent them explicitly saying otherwise, I think we need to assume that the survey was done of reviews.org visitors. Reviews.org has reviews for exactly three categories of services: internet providers, mobile phone plans and services, and TV and streaming. Weighting for US demographics isn't going to make this sample very representative—this survey is of people who are browsing reviews for a set of products that most people don't think too hard about, which also happens to be a set of products that is tightly related to screen time use.
- eckmLJE 2y ago> we need to assume that the survey was done of reviews.org visitors. That's pretty unlikely. Reviews.org likely engages one of many vendors (like Qualtrics[1]) that will solicit responses online for a survey you design and provide to them through their survey building tool. [1] https://www.qualtrics.com/research-services/online-sample/ https://www.qualtrics.com/research-services/online-sample/
- lolinder 2y agoI've read dozens of these survey methodologies, and the reputable ones always tell you who they recruited to do the survey and what sampling method was used (if only in broad strokes). Given that this one does neither, we have to assume the laziest approach possible. If they wanted us to take their survey seriously they'd have a real methodology section.
- eckmLJE 2y agoSure, they could be lazy in a lot of ways in how they execute this survey leading to unreliable results -- indeed, fielding it through something like qualtrics could be said to be "lazier" than attempting to solicit and engage readers of your own individual site. It would be pretty hard and expensive to get enough responses yourself for even a lazy, low-quality result, vs. the at-scale offerings of a vendor.
- idunnoman1222 2y agoRather than calling to question their methods it’s Sunday so we all just got told our screen time for the week what do you guys got? ~4h a day which is 2 months..
- vacuity 2y ago~1h a day, so half a month. I use my laptop far more often, so naturally it's a lot different than a phone in when I use it and for how long, and of course what I'm using it for. On most days my overall screen time (phones, computers, and all) is probably comparable to others', so it's not really too much to be proud of on my end. I like to think I still have an advantage.
- brd 2y agoI'm reading a lot of comments here that are defensive about their phone usage. I think that misses the point. It's fine to chase productivity (real or otherwise) and we can all rationalize how we burn our spare minutes: decompression, etc. Being able to be bored and have those creative thoughts enter is for sure a useful thing. I'd argue the more important thing is being comfortable with silence/boredom. Being able to sit in a meeting and let awkward silence stew; or make a sales pitch and quietly let the gears turn, is a super power. If you're the one at the table better with silence, you have an inherent advantage. Context: I'd put myself in the very low phone usage category but I still use my phone far more than I'd like. I pretty much just check email/text, HN, a bit of news, and occasionally doom scroll reddit. I'm also a developer turned exec/sales guy.
- evanjrowley 2y agoMy theoretical strategy for reducing smartphone time includes substituting it with a smartwatch. I.e., have my phone in the vicinity (as opposed to on my person) and only have the smartwatch equipped. At night, keep the smartphone away from my bed and only have the smartwatch and Bluetooth earbuds next to me. As a Pixel user, the first attempt in early 2023 was rough as the 1st gen Pixel watch had growing pains. I gave up on it but have recently started looking into this approach again. Hopefully the latest updates to WearOS will show an improvement, especially in battery life. I would have considered switching to Apple, but from what I've seen, there is no support for responding to Signal messages via the iWatch. That's critical functionality for me. If the technology pans out and the strategy is a success, then my comments here on HN will be significantly less in 2025.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoMine is to leave the phone on the charger and treat it as a "home phone" when I'm not out.
- xxohioanxx 2y agoI just got a Pixel Watch 3 a few weeks ago and have been pretty impressed with the battery life so far. I'm getting 36-48 hours with always on display turned on. The Apple Watch that it replaced barely lasted 12 hours.
- HelloUsername 2y ago> there is no support for responding to Signal messages via the iWatch Yes, there is? Through dictation
- zxcvbnm69 2y ago[dead]
- nunez 2y agoIt's the notifications, stupid! Many phone apps have completely abused the notification system, transforming it into a slot machine of dopamine. Between this and "engagement" being metric number one in developing mobile apps, this outcome isn't surprising. (I am militant about what gets to notify me. Most of my apps are denied notification permissions. Any apps that begin to spam me get denied as well. I also do inbox zero, so any emails I get are either dealt with in the moment or are treated as a todo for later.) Ironically, as much as I loved smartphones and the iPhone in their prime, I'm thinking about going back to separate simple devices. I've always been a "simple" phone user (email, reading stuff online, camera/video, no social media, no games,no YouTube). Phones and tablets are becoming even more consumption focused, and it's clear that market forces are leaving people like me in the dust. (I'm typing this on an eInk Boox Go that I rooted, debloated and firewalled; sucks for "typical phone shit" but is amazing for reading.)
- bdangubic 2y agogood luck trying to find a simple device - it is not possible anymore. and with the proliferation of eSIMs it is now hard to go buy a dumb-phone on eBay and get it “connected” to some carrier. I tried to resurrect my old RAZR and had a helluva time trying to get it working. your best bet is a smartphone with everything removed from it except messages and phone apps and the shutting everything off except cellular
- nunez 2y agoI know. It bums me out. Small phones are all but extinct (unless you count the iPhone 13 mini that Apple discontinued, which I had and I absolutely LOVED). Again, market forces leave us simple folk behind. I'm broken for NOT wanting a 6.3" slate that can hit 2000 lumens on a bright day that requires a case because the titanium is too slippery. What I would LOVE is a small Kaleido eInk phone that runs Android on a mid-tier SoC. Rooted and debloated; no assistants or AI (like you described). I would use eLauncher to make a really simple launcher with the names of the apps I use (like I do on my BOOX) and Tasker to automate common tasks. (I want a simple interface so I can move around quickly and move on with my lifem, but have no problem with complexity so long as it's within my control. I'm a heavy user of Shortcuts, as terrible as that software is.) Since I already carry a fanny pack around everyday, I would just use a small mirror less SLR for point and shoot stuff like the Canon EOS M300.
- pearlchoker 2y agohorrors! commmoners computing in the open! nobody complains when you're a nerd spending 9 months a year on your laptop. HN delivering that steady stream of Sunday ragebait as always
- pixelmonkey 2y agoUsing a smartphone isn't "computing" in the same sense as programmers using a laptop for programming. Neither is it in the same sense as writers using a laptop for writing. Consider: Some devices are consume-only (e.g. Kindle, original iPod); some devices are consume-heavy, create-light (modern iPhone or Android smartphones); some devices are consume-light, create-heavy (modern programmer laptops); some devices are create-only (e.g. typewriters, or modern alternative experiments like Freewrite). If you only use the consume-only or consume-heavy devices, you're not "computing" in any creative sense. In the same way, you usually aren't writing in any creative sense if you only carry books (or a Kindle) in your backpack and read all day. Most people spend weeks or months per year "consuming content with a computing device" while not creating a single thing with that computing device. Some of that is communication, like text and group chat messages. But quite a lot of it is short-form content that is passively delivered to eyeballs and ears. Either way, this isn't creative computing. It may not even be deep content consumption. The typical and popular content doesn't resemble books. There is a widespread and population-wide decline in deep reading as short-form video rises and app notifications flit users from smartphone app to app. You have to be very intentional to even wrangle a smartphone media diet that leaves the space for deep reading. To escape the trap, most find the need to put the smartphone away and pick up a device with different affordances (a Kindle to deep read, or a laptop to code or write, as examples). Even if you manage to escape attention farming, due to the design of smartphones as omnipresent devices (on-screen keyboards, touch screens, cellular data plans), creativity will still usually be out of the question for the vast majority of users. For that, you usually need to simply put the smartphone away. I personally find that to do creative computing I need a device with a physical keyboard, a mouse-equivalent, and, optionally: a speedy wired/wifi connection and a large monitor on a comfortable desk in a quiet workspace.

- frereubu 2y agoSomething new that I've seen is men standing at urinals on their phones. It really blew my mind that they can't even take a pee that lasts maybe 20-30 seconds without looking at their phone. What could you possibly do in that time in that position?
- wuiheerfoj 2y agoAnswer a few messages? Catch up on the weather or news? Why waste 30 otherwise useless seconds?
- CoryAlexMartin 2y agoYou can use the time to think and process, or to rest your mind. Hardly useless!
- jacobyoder 2y agoI do it. Typically just checking a few message alerts, or finishing a news story, or starting a podcast download. It's less disruptive than checking those items in front of someone else, when you should be giving the other person attention. Do I have to? No. Do I always do it? No. But just today at the gym, I used the 30 seconds or so there to start downloading a podcast to listen to during my workout. Every button click takes a couple seconds, pause, wait, etc... Why not stack those non-productive times together?
- frereubu 2y agoI guess, but doesn't that start to feel like the tyranny of productivity? If it doesn't take long while you're the urinal it doesn't take long just afterwards too, and then you can enjoy the feeling of having a pee! (Perhaps there's a blogpost in "Mindful pissing"...)
- jacobyoder 2y agoAfter that, I need to be using my hands more - washing them, putting stuff in the locker, tying shoes, etc. Standing there for 20-30-40 seconds is one of the few times one or both hands are free and my brain can go do something else for a bit (read, get a podcast, etc).
- thingsilearned 2y agoI try to get around with just an apple watch. The most frustrating part is needing (or worrying I'll need) to take an uber or a lyft (my main modes of transport). They discontinued their watch apps and their api's are very locked down.
- jasoneckert 2y agoOne of my favourite achievements of the past several years has been to actively NOT use my phone. I started by eliminating social media accounts, which had an immediate and positive effect on my phone use. Next, I set hard phone time/day limits: no phone while hiking, no phone while at a social meetup or restaurant, no phone while shopping. Finally, I focused on what I should use it for and stuck to only that: checking work email when I need to away from a PC (but replies wait until I get to a PC), the odd Googling when I'm away from a PC, scrolling my tech news feeds once per evening for up to 20 minutes, and of course, missed phone calls/texts from friends and family (checked periodically, 1-2 times per day). And the end result? I'm very happy with my relationship with this non-invasive piece of technology, mainly because I ensured it was non-invasive.
- layer8 2y agoI could never go 9.5 months without my phone.
- gunian 2y ago[dead]
- thornton 2y agoThat’s 20.83% I don’t think it’s that far off. I just opened screen time in my iPhone, checked devices for phone, selected weekly tab, and flipped back last few weeks to get average of 42 hours per week, with 168 hours in a week puts me at 25% for December. I’m apparently above average!
