Between scrolling, notifications, and messages, smartphones can be hard to put down. Just over half of U.S. adults say they spend too much time on their smartphone, according to a Pew Research Center survey from May and June 2026. About a third of adults say their smartphone use is about right, while just 3% say they spend too little time using these devices.

So true, Up voted from my smartphone
the irony… 😂
Just like having ten thousand spoons when all ya need is a knife 😂
And the other half is in denial
is it really so rare to just not really use your phone much in the US? There’s days I straight up forget I have a phone
I don’t.
…because I waste it on my desktop computer. :/
I don’t, it’s honestly pretty easy. Step one: don’t own a mobile phone.
I’m not sure how I’d rate me. I spend plenty of time on my smartphone but I’m playing SNES/GBA/DS with it hooked up to a controller clip so… not the usual use case of social bullshit ruining my mood. I enjoy the fuck out of a good emulation-in-bed night.
But hey, a few minutes on Lemmy too, of course, as I go through the entire All feed on a few minutes lol
“… and the other half are lying.”
Maybe they were too busy on their phones to answer the survey
Hey Ron, we need a stock photo of someone holding their phone, but we don’t have any on set. Hold this bar of soap and pretend that it’s a phone. Just hold it so the logo doesn’t show. Perfect. 📸
This is a smart phone with a premium feel, reminiscent of a wet bar of soap. Another notable feature is its fresh scent. Oddly refreshing design
Having a smartphone with an awful user experience has worked out great. My hatred for its stupid bullshit outweighs my desire to interact with the internet.
