How much time do you spend on your phone?

[VernitaGreen]

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

Whatever it is, it's too much :(

I don’t have my screen time on but I’d say a couple of hours per day.
I was sat waiting for an appointment yesterday and every single person was staring at a phone in the waiting room. They all looked like zombies taken over by a phone.

I hardly use my phone but according to my laptop's weekly report, an average of 3 hours 7 minutes daily on the laptop last week.

I'm hoping maps and podcast use while commute is counted as that will bring the scrolling time down.

Too much. 7hrs and 48m per day this past week.

Jeez what an eye opener.

Between a "low" of 2.5 hours and peaking at a whopping 8 hours one day this month 😳

I do use it for work a fair bit but still.

Many days are 4 hours +

That's insane.

It's definitely illuminating. I get sent a weekly update so I do tend to see it steadily creep up or down depending on what I've been doing.

6hrs or so. No phone at work unless I’m on a break/lunch as I don’t have signal or WiFi

11 minutes a day apparently

Too much time! I've downloaded candy crush and that is a bad habit. I need to shift my mindset a bit! This has given me a wake up call!

Ave 5hrs 56 minutes, but some days it’s over 7hrs. In my defence a lot of that is whilst DH is watching football on TV.

About 10 minutes a day, I don't use it much. I find it too small for most things even though it's a Pro Max.

Actually just checked and it's 5 minutes

I've added the digital wellbeing widget to my phone, so I see my minutes every time I pick it up. I try to keep it under 1 hour 30 - the same limit i set DC.

I don't always hit it. Average is ~2hr, but odd days will be 4.

Far, far too much. I think it’s pretty much an addiction

3.5 hours per day, it's too much, I reach for it all the time. Then I say I have no time for housework or exercise 🤔

I can't unsee this thread. I didn't know that feature existed.

Oh lordy.

11h 21min on Friday 😳 (I'd like to think citymapper app and researching where I was going on a greater London roaming day out, but still...)

I can't find where to see the weekly average, which is probably a blessing.

I’m normally 3.5 - 4 hours a week. This week is around 3 hours and that feels better.

Anything over and I know I’ve been on too much. It’s hard though with grocery shopping, school admin and especially Christmas shopping right now.

Averaged 3.5 hours a day last week, far too much. What did I do with that time before I had a smartphone? What a waste of time.
i tend to scroll when I wake up and again in the evening while dh is cooking.
Also did a lot of shopping from my phone last week so my report that comes through on a Monday will no doubt bring me more bad news tomorrow!

Way too much...I don't even want to look. I have adhd and do struggle with impulse control, but I don't want to fritter my life away looking at a tiny screen, so I need to do something to break the cycle.
