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'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
