Given it's an anonymous forum, please share how much time you average on your phone a day. I'm embarrassed by mine and need to see how far outside of normal it is!

Not just a guess but using the data in your iPhone or Android.
iPhone: Settings > Screen Time
Android: Settings > Digital Wellbeing and parental controls

Whatever it is, it's too much :(

Too much! My screen time is like 5 - 7 hours a day. I’m waiting at piano lesson now and all the parents are on their phone.

Banking
Groceries
calendar/social life
music
podcasts
recipes
google
work
mumsnet

no social media other than fucking MN!

I get a weekly report every Monday and last week I averaged 7hr a day and was absolutely horrified by it. I've stopped scrolling etc when watching TV and don't allow myself to scroll in bed anymore.

1hr 11 mins apparently but that seems low it feels like more

Between 2-3 hours a day… trying to cut down.

Like others say, it includes phone calls and things. It’s not all doom scrolling… mostly Mumsnet.

7h 17m average per day across last week 🫠

In my own defence, I do have work apps (slack/gmail) installed and tend to do a fair amount of work admin on it during the day. Definitely too much mumsnet scrolling as well though!

Averaging 4 hours a day for the last week! But in my defence it’s been Black Friday and I’ve got a lot of my Christmas shopping done. I know that’s bad.
