However, young Americans, regularly accused of mindlessly scrolling through never-ending brainrot on their devices, may feel vindicated by new data that suggests the tables may have turned in recent times. Per figures from mobile app intelligence provider Apptopia, 17- to 25-year-olds in the US have actually spent less time on their phones than adults aged 36 and over of late — albeit marginally.

Per the latest batch of quarterly data, the younger cohort clocked some 350 minutes of daily phone use, compared with **352 minutes **for the 36 and older demographic.

...average American now spends 6.3 hours a day on their phone, up some 51 minutes from the 5.5-hour total recorded at the start of 2023.
