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.

I hate the OS, the swipe recognition, the soft keyboard, and the majority of the apps. I know how to fix most of that, I just really can't be arsed to put in the time. I've been living in a kind of stand-off with the thing.
