it became smart phones For us, it’s like the air we breathe, meaning we literally can’t live without our phones, relying on them to do everything from communicating with others to watching what we want, playing games, writing what we feel, searching for anything, or finding out how to get somewhere. This increasing reliance on smartphones has become a common behavior among all users around the world. Let’s take you on a quick journey to learn about smartphone usage statistics for the year 2024, and see how many times the average person checks their smartphone throughout the day.
Smartphone disaster in 2024
According to a recent survey conducted by Reviews.org on a number of users in America, the average person checks their smartphone about 205 times a day (this number is up from 144 times a day in 2023). That means they open and stare at their phone screen at a rate of about once every five minutes throughout the day.
Users spent two and a half months in 2024 staring at their phones for various reasons.
The survey also found some common habits among users. For example, 80.6% of users check their phones within 10 minutes of waking up. 65.7% use their phones while using the toilet. 53.7% of them text someone in the same room. But what’s more surprising is that 38.1% use their phones while on dates and 27% use their phones while driving.
Furthermore, the survey also showed that 76% of Americans check their phones within 5 minutes of receiving a notification, with millennials leading the way at 89.5% (with 10% checking their phones within XNUMX minutes of receiving a notification).
Smartphone addiction
The survey found that younger people spend the most time on their devices. Gen Z averages 6 hours and 18 minutes of phone use per day. Millennials come in second with 6 hours and 1925 minutes. Gen X, Boomers, and the Silent Generation spend significantly less time on their devices, with the latter averaging 1942 hour and 16 minutes per day. Millennials also pick up their phones the most, averaging 324 times per day. They’re also the most anxious when away from their smartphones, with 80.8% of them feeling stressed.
Finally, smartphone addiction has become a common behavior nowadays. It has gone beyond being a bad habit to become a real problem that negatively affects users, especially young people who spend their time in front of the phone screen and become isolated from the world around them. Among the negative effects of smartphone addiction are the deterioration of social relationships, decreased productivity, and also the inability to concentrate while studying or working, in addition to sleep problems, anxiety, and depression.

Sorry for commenting off topic
Why do we use a foreign expression when mentioning a countable thing?! After a hundred, from three to ten, the countable thing is pluralized, as mentioned in this article. You said: 205 times. This is wrong. It is not said like this. You say 205 times, and to 10, 210 times, then 211 times, 231 times.
If the number is one or two, the number is not mentioned, but the counted item is mentioned in the singular and dual forms. You say: one hundred and one day, and the same with a thousand. You say 1000 and one time, or 100 and one day, 100 and two days, not 102 days.
Hello Adham Hamdy 🙋♂️, Thank you for pointing out this important point. Indeed, the Arabic language is very rich in its grammar and sometimes we may make simple mistakes. I will be more careful in the future and make sure to use the Arabic language correctly. Thank you for your alert and correction, you always make me feel proud of the educated and aware audience of iPhoneIslam + Phonegram 👏😃.

O God, keep us busy with His remembrance, obedience, and good worship of Him.
Without counting the number of hours an Arab spends in front of a phone screen: 7 to 10 hours a day. The number of times he picks up the phone at once: 5 times if he prays, but once if he does not pray.
Personally, when I leave home, I don't carry my phone at all when I go out! I only carry it when I go to work for emergencies, and I don't remember that I have a phone until I get home. Fortunately, I don't have cellular internet activated on my phone! I only have home internet, but I don't use Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, or their sub-programs, except for WhatsApp, which has been blocked for more than two months due to not being updated!
All I do is watch tech news or shop on my phone!

Happy New Year, may you be well and healthy, God willing
Really a really bad habit 😦 What is the solution?
Islam Al-Zuhairi, Happy New Year to you 🎉🙌. I am completely with you, phone addiction is a real problem in our world today 😓. But don't worry, there are some solutions that can help overcome this problem. For example, you can use timing applications to determine the periods of phone use, or even rearrange the phone screen to make productive applications more visible than entertainment applications. Also, you can try separating yourself from your phone for long periods during the day and staying away from it at least an hour before bed. This may take some time and effort, but with persistence and patience you will be able to change for the better, God willing 😊👍.
