90% of your usage on your phone is banking apps or NFC payments? That seems hard to believe.

That's pretty much my usage pattern too, including some group texting, the occasional call and sometimes taking photos/videos. Otherwise my phone pretty much stays in my pocket or on my table the entire day. What are you using your phone for that makes that so unbelievable?

  Web browsing (like right now), photos, e-books, lots of messaging, music, sometimes video. I use NFC payments often, but I wouldn't say that amounts to more than a few percent of my total usage. Everyone uses their phones differently, of course. I don't think your use is unbelievable or odd, but I do think your use patterns are not the common case.

  I used my bank app yesterday, but since then I've used: whatsapp, phone, push authenticator, safari (having followed a link from a message), spotify, slack, mail, calandar, disney plus and camera Do you not do any of that on a mobile device?

    I do use whatsapp, camera and the phone functionality, web browsing very seldom, mostly for "emergencies". Spotify, work chat, mail, calendar and watching entertainment is all stuff I either do at my desktop or on the TV, never use the phone for those things.

I don't know if it is generational or regional or what, but there is a solid segment of people that live in very close contact with their bank.

  On average, people spend 4 hours and 37 minutes on their phone, per day [1]. I find it hard to believe someone would spend 4 hours and 9 minutes _per day_ looking at their banking app or using NFC payments.

    Your assumption they used their phone an average time was false probably.
