The year-on-year comparison and development in connection with the coronavirus pandemic, which is currently not receiving as much attention, is also interesting. While users in Singapore spent an average of 4.1 hours using a smartphone in 2020, in 2022 it is already 5.7 hours per day. In Australia, phone use rose from 3.6 hours to 4.9 hours over the same time period. In both cases, this is a 40% increase in time spent with the phone in hand. In contrast, Mexico has stagnated in this respect, so the average time is still around 5 hours during the monitored period of 2020, 2021 and 2022.
And which apps did users use the most during the second quarter of this year? The ranking of the most used applications in the monitored period is dominated by TikTok, followed by YouTube, the dating site Tinder and the video streaming service Disney+. For a change, Facebook has the largest number of monthly active users, followed by WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. In the area of the most downloaded applications, Instagram clearly leads, but Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp are also doing very well.
