In 2024, it was reported that people in Japan spent an average of 1 hour and 47 minutes a day on their smartphones. This indicator is considered the best in the world. This was announced in a report published by Exploding Topics.
According to this report, people globally spend an average of 4 hours and 37 minutes on phones every day. Also, each person checks their device an average of 58 times a day. Ghanaians spend the most time on their smartphones every day - 5 hours and 43 minutes. The Japanese, on the other hand, spend less than half of the world's average time - 1 hour and 47 minutes - on their phones. Also, three out of four Z-generation people openly admit that they spend extra time on their phones.
According to the data, a person spends an average of 4 hours and 37 minutes on a phone screen every day. This is more than one day a week, and approximately 6 days a month. For a year, this means approximately 70 days are spent looking at the smartphone screen.
On weekdays, smartphone usage is significantly higher than on weekends. On average, each person checks their phone 58 times a day. Approximately 52% of these inspections (i.e., 30 times) occur during working hours. Thus, picking up a phone can become a habit. According to additional data, half of all screen sessions begin just 3 minutes after the last use. During the day, people spend an average of 1 minute 15 seconds each time they pick up a smartphone.
This ranking includes 53 countries from different regions of the world. In particular, four countries in the South American region were among the top ten "most time-consuming." Three Southeast Asian countries also ranked in the top ten. The countries of Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, did not participate in this rating.
