I use my phone for everything- tv, camera, messaging/talking , Google, social media, listening to music, podcasts. But not for work.

My average use is about 3.5 - 4 hours a day which seems a lot but I'm not always physically on it. Say in the car I'll link it to the radio while driving. What's your usage?

Mine is bloody loads but I can do 4hrs whilst trying to get a toddler to sleep (she has music via my phone and I look at various things whilst trying to not lose the will to live), then 2-3hrs of normal “stuff” in the day.
I also listen to Audible in car via phone for commute so that’s easily another 2hrs on office days.

Omg I was shocked - mine yesterday was 8 hours!

But when I broke down the usage

Google Maps (satnav). 2 hours
MS Teams (listening to meetings while tidying house ) 2 hours
TikTok 1 hour
WhatsApp. 30 mins
Safari (shopping). 30 min
Bank App. 15 mins
Supermarket App. 30 mins
News app. 15 mins
Kindle app. 1 hour

So actually it's not that bad at all!! :)

Pretty much constantly if I'm honest.
Mumsnet, twitter, internet in general.

Hardly any at all. Never had a smartphone.

Oblomov22 · 14/06/2022 17:45

6 hrs average.

dottypotter · 14/06/2022 22:10

2 to 3 hours

8 hours on average.

I use it for work and to run my business, so that time includes messaging clients, booking appointments and photographs for my job.

I also use it for Spotify in the car instead of the radio as signal here is really dodgy.

But most of my time is games or mucking about on random websites 🤣

Mine is 1 hr 30 mins today. I'm happy with that, I hate being glued to it especially with the kids around plus the toddler always snatches it anyway so she is doing me a favour!

Photos on days out about 10 minutes
Music in the gym 180 minutes a week
Replying to messages 20 minutes a day
Phone calls only when I have to
