I avg around 4.5 hrs. But I've hit 6 hrs occasionally.
I recommend taking up reading books. Replace that with screentime

Probably 5-7 hours per day on average
Week day average around 5h, weekends are around 5-7. On the weekends, try to make plans with family, friends, or even solo plans to get out of the house. Maybe even putting some music on while doing errands around the house instead of mindlessly scrolling, etc.
started putting my phone to black and white mode, severely cuts down on the mindless doomscrolling.
4 hours or so, which is an absolutely disgusting amount of time to spend on the phone. Something working on. Reading more helps. Leaving phone in other room helps.
Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket. I myself, I'm on my phone at least 16 hours / day.
Last week avg was 4 hr 10 mins. Keep my phone on black and white. Not having social media helps imo.
1.5 hours
Damn. Goals
How?
I'm still in HS, but I spend enough time at school, playing sports, or volunteering/doing clubs that I don't have any more time left over for the phone. Switching the phone to greyscale and not having TikTok/Instagram helps too.
why
Somehow 4 hours. Really thought it’d be like 7.
I have the three d, one that has a clock in three d.
4h/day
Only a few hours per day for personal use
I spend 1-2 hours on my phone. I am usually on the computer more
At least an hour when at the gym, an hour when commuting on the subway to/from work, and an hour randomly at work when waiting for comments.
If I work from home, I’ll use Netflix on my tv when I have downtime
You have an hour screen time on your phone at the gym? How long are you working out - 5hrs? Or you watch movies on the treadmill or something -
How does Netflix on your TV relate to phone screen time?
I have roughly an hour on my phone at the gym since i use my phone as a timer between sets and usually dont turn the screen off during a set
I’ll either watch a show on the tread mill, music vids when working out or sometimes ASMR
I guess Netflix from my tv isn’t related to phone screen time, moreso just screen time on other screen
Probably 4-5 hours per day
I'm doing this thing with some friends about reducing it, but it's really hard. I've had some success switching to greyscale mode, but the real time killer is social media. My facebook time is almost entirely gone, but I'm doomscrolling a lot on IG which I detest. I like snapchat more for that reason since you just send a funny photo and that's basically it, no reason to doomscroll. I might try to unfollow all meme type accounts and basically everything else and just make the in-app experience boring enough so that might help a bit. Idk how others feel about this, but I've noticed the greyscale mode is more straining on my eyes for some reason.
This past week it was about 5-6 hours
7 hr on avg this past week yeesh
