The most of the people say that the smartphones exist to give others their undivided attention, but what they don't know that using the phones during social events actually diminishes them own experience of those events. So this tool is responsible for our unsatisfying social interactions.

We are really addicted to our phones? What can we do? What you can do when you keep your phone on and what you do on usually?

I really am a cellphone addict, don't know what I would do without it during everyday bus rides. But I do my best not to use it when I have company; it represents the ultimate rudeness and tells a lot about one's manners. In past years, you could see people hanging out in cafes and restaurants not talking to each other at all and just staring at their phones all the time, but it seems that people are starting to realize that it doesn't look nice.

Nope I only use my cellphone if necessary and not using for android games.

As I went to the decree, I noticed that the phone does not let go. I know that this is bad, but I can not do anything about it.

I like to climb on my cell phone. There I communicate, correspond in different people. So it's good on the road when you need the Internet and no desktop computer nearby. Well, the game as the main entertainment

I dont really feel like it. Usually im fine with keeping it in my pocket and never film in concerts for example.

Yes I am always on phone if I am not doing bounty I am doing airdrops , if not I am doing bounties if not I am checking my trades if not I am on some WhatsApp group

I don't consider myself an addict but there's a weird tendency of mine of just turning on the phone screen when I'm bored, would that be considered ;D an initiation?

Yes, i thought.

I used to cellphone since i was 8 years old until now 22 years old.

Since the smartphone coming, it makes me addict more than before.

Yes i am a smartphone addict

Nope, I prefer my real social life than social cyber

No, I am not.  Sometimes I don't even touch my phone for hours when I am at home.

i'm not a cell phone addict,at least i think so lol. Just comparing myself to some people i know,i don't let myself use cell phone when i meet with friends as it's disrespect to people around,buy some people do it and it's bad habit.

Yes, I am addicted to my phone and also my husband is addicted too, but as I've observed he is more addicted than me because he always holds his phone and always updated with social media news and viral videos than me. I also don't know what I do on usually if I don't have a smartphone, but maybe if I don't have it then I will just sleep or watch movies or tv series.

I would say i am,due to nature of the work i do,i spend  way too much  time on the phone

I hate people who play their phone all the time so I try not to be like them.

this is important to me..will recreation spend whole day and talk to friend a long long distance..

You think that they spend all the time playing on it?

I haven’t use phone about a year, obviously I still use tablet or laptop but I don’t have it all the time with me. We are all addicted to phones, maybe just older people are not, but what I wanted to say , we can’t do nothing this is technology century.

Yes because cell phone is one of the great invention for people.
it's a big help for us to fast communicate to the other people.

It can be very addictive, I am not an addict though

I am not a cell phone addict, I am an information addict

Nope. Use it just to google smth when im away from computer or call

Just moderate, I just check my phone for like once in an hour

Yes.. If I have not pressed my phone I can't sleep.

Honestly, Yes I am a cellphone addict.
I am an introvert person who usually interact in social media and NOT in person or hanging out with friends.
So I will call myself a phone addict. haha  ::)

I am a laptop person. Cellphones bore me

Im laptop person

I am now after getting into crypto, dammed blockfolio is too addictive along with other crypto apps

Yes i am im using cellphone while charging and im facebook all day and always watching a anime.

Truly speaking yes.

No, i never feel addiction to my phone.

I just use it when it is needed and nothing else so, i'm not.

yes but not fully.

I was but now i control my addiction.

I spend a lot of time with my phone, but nowadays this is my work tool so it's impossible to leave it.

I am very addicted to mobile phones, it is my tool to follow with the silhouette, it is strong for me

I can easily not use a smartphone for a few days at all. It's summer, vacation time. It's better to enjoy the beauty of nature and not your friends Instagram.

yes im a cellphone addict when there is a game that i like.

I am a phone addict. I use the phone all the time, there are days holding the phone in hand but I slept forgot to know.

Yes,  i am phone addict. I feels like i can't live without it.
I always spending my freetime to use my smartphone

Mobile phones have entered in our life so we can not live without them anymore. Unfortunately, we are all addicted, I can not leave the phone in my spare time.

I am not but I get use to it for the sake of getting some information about what is happening to cryptocurrency and the way forward.

Hell yeah, you got me.
I think that I should do something about it. There is always something that keeps making me watch the damn screen. Blockfolio doesn't help either.  ;D

I always have my phone with me and use it a lot. I'm a cell phone addict

yes im addicted..because im gamer  player like mobile legends or text my chicks lol..

mobile to laptop, laptop to mobile ;D ;D ;D
need a way to avoid

Yes, but I don't press phone without reason. For example I use my phone to check information  on bitcointalk trading to know what is going on in the world of bitcointalk

I am in the process of becoming addicted to tablets. Imagine a cell phone addiction, just bigger.

I try to overcome my phone addiction with the help of various tools. And it helps

I am addicted to computers.

Indeed, without me realizing the smartphone becomes something very important to me. Everyday I do not know how many hours a day I use my smartphone, calling work, playing games, shopping online, reading news and more ;D

indeed. I can't live without phone beside me

I'm a different kind of cellphone addict. I collect them.
Transportables, Bricks, early phones to modern smartphones.

I think when im not on PC i use phone for internet and watch something

yes iam ehehehe i always use my phone every time i get bored or i get in bed always use it anytime i dont know why maybe it is addiction lol

Yes I am. I think almost everyone of us is.
We right now check our phone > 3 hours a day which takes a large percent of our daily lives. We go to meetings without talking and pulling our phones out of pocket like guns and keep sticking with the screens.
I want to change the habbit but its already like a routine.

yes i'm but i really want to get my self free.

yes and i'm really happy with this.

Yes, I am always with my phone and always on the internet as long as there is power on it

In my area there is a rule that if people are gathered in a meeting then all the mobile phone collected, so that no one is playing with his cell phone.

I keep trying to do this, I have a non-smartphone that I use for calls (I want a landline but can't since I'm in student accommodation at uni) but the thing that keeps dragging me back to getting my iPhone out again is my friends get annoyed that I can't respond to them quickly... I haven't used social media like Facebook, Instagram etc. in a year so that's not a problem, it's things like iMessage. A small example is my mum sends me a photo of my dogs every morning and little bitstrips things but when I turned iMessage off she was sad that she couldn't send them. I know I'm doing this for me and other people shouldn't stop me but, it kind of does.

I used to be a gaming smartphone addict, but now no longer, I'm changing my more productive habits

I wasnt a cell phone addict earlier, as much as bitcoin has made me an addict in last 3 years...

not really but I'm close because I have a lot of apps on it that help me with cryptos

Of course, we are all very dependent on our phones because it is very convenient, but at least when you need to rest from it more often to leave at home and go for a walk yourself.

A phone is just a tool, you can be addicted to apps or sites that provide you entertainment, that's how i think about it.

No,because I allocate particular time for using mobiles and also concentrate in my physical and mental health too.

Yap. I'm cell phone addicted person. I can't think a single moment without cell phone.
I'm using cell phone for various purposes such as watching tutorial, movies, sports etc.
I also visit world's best online newspaper to know about current world.
Without cell phone I can't live a single day.
So, you can call me cell phone addict!!

i am ashamed to say , i'am  . im trying to be more real life man .

Well , we all are in a way, whether its work or time pass or Entertainment.

Yes i am a smartphone addict

A bit. Not so bad though, I could live without it, but when I have it around I keep looking at it

I am not addicted, I just need my phone 24/7

No, I'm not. It will cause big to your body, it so unhealthy when you always hold it because of it radiation. I do hold it when I had a time to check some important messages or emails.

i am Cell Phone Addict

I am not addict about anything

Yeah man, I surely am. There is always some app that needs checking on.
I guess the tech is killing us slowly. We don't do regular things anymore, we just glare at our tiny screens. It's pathetic but were living like that.

I walked out of restaurant one time with my wife and saw a bunch of 60 year olds with their heads in their phones while waiting for seating.

My wife noticed it also.

We have never been like that for some reason. My computer is for work my phone is for calls. Even if it is a smart phone.

yes, and day by day my addiction is increasing.

No, I am not. I use just when I need.

I think I am addicted I cant stay without phone more than 1 hour

I am even sick in this

No i am not

Yes I am bit addicted but when I am with people i never check my phone

Since I started becoming more interested in Cryptos.  I found out I want to check my phone often enough

I never was addicted for anything

I am not a Mobile addict but I use mobile phones to sell on instagram so I always hold and carry my cell phone wherever I go. I also always turn on notifications :)

Yes it's true that I am cell phone addict because now a days to make new Android cell phone also give of typing goods, in every day I want to know more new things in cell phone so I think I am cell phone addict.

hmmm not in that level .only for a little recreation.

I am not, and I don't like people who play with their mobile phones all day long.

i have better control of my devices, they dont control me :(

No not really. Its just phones are a useful tool to access stuff i want to. Since im an avid reader of novels and i sometimes look up in the net some free novels to read, I use my phone when i leave so yep. But usually i dont touch it when im at home

yes mobile phone makes me addicted and lazy.

using a samartphone nowadays is not just based on necessity due to addiction factor.

What we need to set now is the use, we need to be aware when it's time we do not not use it. example in terms of bersosial, when it is a time that we need to interact with people around us then you should place or leave the smartphone

on a minor way

in a manner of speaking

sorta , for browsing

For some time now, i have been addicted to my phone and hardly get time to do other chores. Always checking cmc to see my stand and how the coins are trending.

Oh my God! I can also consider myself as like that!  :'(.. coz i can't live without my phone anymore..coz it is also my bitcoin wallet!
I also use it for business purposes! So i can be updated in Crypto Happenings! ;D
There's alot of advantage of having Smartphones..but let us not forget that the personal in touch with our love ones, family and friends is the most important communication!

Nope, I wouldn't consider myself a cell phone addict but I'll still like to reduce the number of time I spend on my phone, reading news, whatsapping and other social media although I'm not active on Facebook and Instagram.
My advice for addicts is just make your cell phone as boring as possible by deleting social media apps and other irrelevant apps. Try having hobbies you're passionate about or just go chasing your dreams. Cheers!

Set some time limit in using a smart phone and dedicate yourself in to reading books or getting involved in a sport.

I am not saying that I am a cell phone addict. However, everybody uses cell phones these days, they are a part of our daily life and we need them. So yeah, i dont think if you use your phone often doesnt make you are an addict. If you cannot be in the present moment or when youre with friends and family and you still on your phone, maybe youre an addict.

No, Because i use cellphone when i need it and have important contact.

actually yes i am a cellphone addict

Addiction to smart phones have become a usual  phenomena these days.

What i do is to avoid having games on phone, then whenever i need a full concentration at an event , i only go with my call phone or better still, switch off my Data.

Society should understand cell phone addiction is a serious issue and we should do something about that.

Too much addicted and I regret buying a smart phone with so many features.

I really hate phone. It makes us have more distance. I like reading and chatting with friends rather than holding a smartphone to surf facebook. :-\ :-\

Now I am not addicted to cell phones but I was and it used to waste my so much time.

I've definitely noticed I'm always on a screen. My work requires it, but even in my spare time I'm my phone.

So yeah probably. I installed an app that tracks the time I spend on apps. Can't fix a problem if you don't know what it is...

I suppose, smartphone is just another tool that humanity has crafted, similar to hammers, axes, and billions of other things we invented to make our lifes easier. It lets us interact quicklier and more efficiently, gives instant access to terabytes of information on the Internet, serves as a photo/video cam and so on. Yes, people started using it so often that it’s changing the whole world. But I don’t think we can refer to it as “addiction”, it’s just technological progress.

I am a total addict and I have tried living without the phone but it is not very possible.

Two years back I lost my cell phone and I had to survive one week without the phone. That time I realized, I am a cell phone addict.

yes, probably everybody here is a cellphone addict.

Yes I am LOL

Yeah I think I am an addict but without even knowing. Before I was just using the cellphone in order to listen to music then for twitter, Instagram and YouTube now not a single day end without my phone 

It is an addiction and people only use phones to speak to each other despite being in the same room.

Yes.I'm a cell phone addict and I use it all the time.I'm trying to keep away from my cell phone

kind of, I always use my phone even when I eat or take a dump

I am an addict though I am trying really hard to not use the phone most of the times.

True, I am a phone addict. don't have a mobile phone like don't have a lover

not to much but we have to use everyday

I also seem to be smartphone addict greatly. in a day I can spend 5-8 hours to use smartphone. I love write some article using smartphone and become a user of social media. I prefer to use smartphone because the size is small and can be taken anywhere. I remain addicted smartphone because my idea to write articles sometimes come suddenly, but I limit myself to arranging my time to stay with family without a smartphone and keep socializing with friends around me

Not too addicted but slight, cellphones nowadays are important and this is the easy way to contact someone else, but the disadvantaged of cellphones is phones could waste your time by surfing on internet, social medias and playing online games.

Yes, I am cell phone addict. Cell phone is a very important for communicating with our relatives, friends & also official colleagues. Also a smart cell phone can give the opportunities to browse internet and also can make conversation with people's. So I think a cell phone is a very important for all of us. So I am cell phone addict.

no i am not ..are you?

yes im addict in my phone because of pubg mobile.

I admit yes because of the excessive use of social media like facebook and messenger.

cell phone addict , hell ya.

Nope. I only use it when I need it and don't have any single game in it.

I dont know if I consider myself a cellphone addict, because Im sure I can go on a day without it but it has very good use to me. I can use it for entertainment like playing games with in or use it to play VR games, I use it to socialize, I also use it for work sometimes. So I am probably in the middle.

I am not addict to my phone. When I am busy I cannot remember to open my phone. Sometimes I missed call because I don't like to open my phone every min.

im a mild cell  addict

im only a little addict of it  

im ashamed to say , im a major addict

im a work addict , cell dont have  a chance

maybe for  fb , i get addict a little

cell phone addict , maybe a  bit

im just a moderate user

i  just like it for the games

Hello, I'm not a phone addict, I use it only for chatting with my friends or to call somebody. But there are so many people who use it all day, even when they go out, for example in a cafe, they use their phones, apps like Instagram, Facebook, you know.

Am a cell phone Addict . But its due to business. I have lots of business apps

I'm Not cell phone addict. I only use my cellphone if necessary and not using for android games.

it can be true that I spent a lot of time with my phone for the profession I work with ;D

I think i might.I figured it out when i started taking my phone from my pocket looking at it, then putting it back then took it again.3 times in 1 minute.

Of course no, phone just supporting me on business but not all my life for it

Yes, I'm a cellular addict, I'm without a phone as if I were without arms.

yes i am cell phone adicted . will you pls tell me how to remove this adictness

Yes I always have my phone beside me or next to me when I go to sleep or am outside, or even at work I do often check my phone a lot.

For me it is yes cause I can't live my life without my cellphone. Cause time I use my cellphone with so many ways.

yeah, I'm a bit addicted to a cell phone. spend too much time checking social media :/

No I'm not. I rarely use phone, i have time live with out a mobile phone in 1 year. I feel normal.

Of course, I play a few hours of mobile phones every day, because I can play games, watch videos, etc. on my mobile phone! I think it is very convenient!

i'm not a  total addict , a mild case.

cell addict,........ yup.

yes , very much .

im  a moderate addict

in a little way .

i just use it on work. but the rest of time games .

Yeah I am I think not just me most young people are addicts to cell phones because there are so many cool things we can do using a phone today

The truth if I am addicted to the cell phone because without it would be very boring I was not watching videos before sleeping I would not be connected to discord without my cell phone I think I'm addicted to the cell phone

yes. no cellphone no life like they said haha. because without watching news tv you will know it social networking site is so powerful and you need to ride. there's lot of application that can develop yourself it depends to you how to use it.

I think all of us are addicted in our century, like somebody more, somebody less, but all we are

I`m not. People mostly don`t believe me, but i don`t have one. That is on purpose; i know myself and i don`t want to be like all the other people around me.

Yes, I am an addict and it's getting worst on daily.. Smartphone these days has increased it for me. I can't go 3 hours without my phone unless when i sleep.

yes i am

I really hate buying a smart phone and I have become too detached with people.

Yes because cellphone is very important for me

Yes. I really can not get out of my phone because I need to know the information around me.

absolutely yes, spent more than 10 hour in a day

smartphone addiction has negative effects for users, it makes users always think about smartphone when not being on hold. How to cope with getting used to for not long holding a smartphone and replace it with activities which are more useful.

I tried living without a phone for an hour and I sucked at it. I could not survive.

Yes, I for one totally am..I spend an average of 4-5 hours/day on my phone. Even while I'm walking or chilling out with friends, I'm constantly checking on my phone.

Nope but cellphones are important today cause we can communicate overseas with our families abroad we can do everything thru cellphones like we can play games watch news worldwide and also connect with other peoples round the world.

Because I don't have an efficient PC, I make use of my phone a lot to work. I could be on my phone for more than half a day working, nonstop. It can be really stressful but its necessary. Therefore, I'm a cell phone addict in practice. When I get a new system, I'll then become a PC addict!

phones can make positive and negative impacts. positive because it provides fast and accurate information. negative because the usage is very long. even very dangerous for health like eyes

I'm not addicted to the phone. I just use it as a tool to help me find information, handle work and solve when needed entertainment.

Yes I am big cell phone addict.

Yes. I think I'm addicted to the phone. Constantly check the tape in instagram, go to all social networks. I do this even when I walk on the street with my friends and during conversations live.

No, I am not thankfully. I prefer to operate on my laptop.

Yes i would say, cause it's the first thing i see before and after sleeping!

 For me, a mobile phone, this means of communication, nothing more. I spend more time on the computer, so, most likely, I am an Internet addict ;D

Yes. most of the people are totally addicted to their phones. We should be more self-conscious about that

It is a total addiction and people cannot survive without phones.

Yes I am use to cell phone.14hours everyday

I try not use my phone most of the times as I cannot live without it.

I go through different phases with my smartphone usage. For the most part I could live without it. I definitely prefer it. These days I spend a fair bit of time every day to check my Instagram subscriptions and many channels I'm subscribed to on Telegram. I usually do that first thing in the morning and before I go to bed. During the day I can go for a long time without even touching my phone. If I'm bored though, I often reach for it. A month of so ago I deleted a zombie game I had. I was playing it for like 2 hours a day throughout the day. I downloaded an app that measures how much you use each app and I deleted the game almost immediately, when I realized how much of my time it was taking. I guess I'm not an addict, since it's pretty easy for me to change my habits.

Being addicted to one's phone is inevitable but with discipline, one can control it.

yea probably

I am really addicted to my phone. It keeps me company when i am alone.

Phones are part of our lives. I use my phone a lot cause of social media and online games.

i am ashamed to say , i'am  . im trying to be greater real existence man .

Just read books and watch a lot of english movies. Don't be too conscious in speaking in English. Just practice it and you'll get use to it.

sure i am a cellphone addict

Yes I am. I spent most of my time playing or holding my phone. I cannot live a day without using it. There were times that even when i need to go to the bathroom i brought it my cellphone aswell(im the bathroom)

haha quiet funny....Sure am enslaved to my phone ...always whatsapping

yes but some time

More precisely I am a smartphone and internet addict. All will be useless if there is no internet connection. I can't live without it. Because it's all related to my work.

a bit. not so bad although, I may want to live with out it, but whilst i have it round I preserve searching at it

Yep sometimes

I think I can be considered one. When I was with my friends, I was not chatting, but playing my own mobile phone. Another obvious symptom is that I have to play with my mobile phone before going to bed, otherwise I can’t sleep. As mentioned above, I am a Cell Phone Addict.

No, i only use phone when i need to make a call.

Yes Iam, I keep my eyes on the phone screen anytime and anywhere.

No

I don’t think we’re addicts. We just know how to take advantage of the conveniences and features it offers. I mean, we are at a digital age, right? It is expected that there will be a boom in tech advancements designed to enhance our lives. Nothing wrong with partaking in it, right? Whether it’s smartphones, Playstation, AI, or virtual technology –they’re all here to improve and simplify our lives. Let’s just unapologetically embrace it!

in this social media era, cell phone addiction is understandable, personally, am addicted to cell phone, as a bounty hunter is either am in front of my pc or with my cell smart phone, but i try as much as possible not to loose focus especially when am in a meeting or social gathering, i turn off my cell phone completely, and when am walking on the road too in order not to loose  focus.

Yes I am. I think almost everyone of us is.
We right now check our phone > 3 hours a day which takes a large percent of our daily lives. We go to meetings without talking and pulling our phones out of pocket like guns and keep sticking with the screens.
I want to change the habbit but its already like a routine.

I am not a cell phone addict. To avoid being an addict, one must set a time limit for using his/her phone

I try to limit my cell phone addiction so I don't get carried away

Not really, but is good to have it near.

For me I use myphone at least two year, then I buy new phone.

i feel I have already addicted to phone. I have felt I am not like the person who was before using smartphone. now I am planning to stop using Smartphone and buy a small phone for only my calling purposes. I think it is the best option I have to do.

I am not addicted phone but when we you more time, there is more possiblity to addicte to phone.

I admit that I am indeed a mobile addict. Most of the time I use my mobile phone to play games or watch movies, because the phone is more convenient to carry!

Sure am.

That's a nice device! What small icons you have! What launcher are you using. I've been using the Nova Launcher. I love that you can customize it so much. There seem to be endless options! I don't keep my icons so small though. I have a 5x6 grid, not counting the tray at the bottom. I wish I could get my phone rooted. I have the Galaxy S7 SM930U. It's virtually impossible to root.

I think, I'm not a smartphone addict. I am used to limiting myself to using a smartphone. I will not touch my smartphone when it is quality time with family, friends or co-workers. There will be a rule that who touches his smart phone will pay for all food and drinks. I will also take the time to enjoy the beauty of nature rather than just gluing to the gadget. I think if you are too fixated on smartphones, gadgets and technology, then our interactions with other people in real life will experience interference.

hmmm no longer in that level .simplest for a touch recreation.

I spend quite a few time with my phone, however these days this is my work tool so it is impossible to leave it.

I strive to triumph over my phone dependancy with the assist of various tools. And it enables

Phone can be very useful at staying close to information, but when you get addicted... its something else

i'd really love a solution to phone addiction cos i can't bare staying a day without it. its what life has become with smart phones

No i use to control myself very well

I'm using apex launcher 3.3.3. With retroika icon pack. material notification shade. substartum dark gray theme, all can be found at google play store.

am really addicted to my cellphone to the extent that my partner would be mad at me . I don't blame myself. I have everything on the phone lol. For me, its a bad behavior and its like addiction. Putting a stop to this won't be fairy easy

I'll have to take a look at those. Have you every tried Nova Launcher? I just looked at screenshots of Apex in the Play Store and read the description. It seems like the functionality is just about exactly the same. They both have a free version and a pro version. It looks like the app drawer works identically. I much pretty dark themes myself too. Especially with the active matrix on the new AMOLED screens, they don't have to use power to display black pixels, as far as I understand it.

What a tricky question, but it seems that I'm dependent on a mobile phone, but it suits me!

Yes, I am always with my phone and always on the internet as long as there is power on it

I am not a cellphone addict since I allot specific time to use phones. I don't usually use my phone to play games. I only use it in academic purposes and communication with my family, friends, and classmates. I don't usually use phone more than 4 hours a day.

I am a cell phone addict user where every day I have to use it for work needs and relax at once, like nonotn youtube, facebook and twitter. almost 60% of my time is for cell phones

i am Cell Phone Addict

I did a bounty lever from cell phone, of course this will use a lot of my time with cell phones

cell phone is convenient but i addict to PC and laptop :3

I am not addicted to cellphone and to avoid cell phone i keep my internet data off on cell phone and use base level android cell phone instead of fancy expensive cell phone, but i am addicted to internet, i use more laptop or PC than cellphone.

I am a big addict to cell phones

i am Cell Phone Addict

True. Don't have a mobile phone like don't have a lover

It is, isn't it? If we're embracing the convenience of a certain technology, that makes us automatic addicts? So are we addicted to the internet as well? I don't know why there's a negative connotation to our dependence on technology. It was designed for our use, right? And this is only the beginning. Since we are at a digital age, we will see more developments in AI, as well as augmented and virtual realities. Let's just evolve along with these developments, shall we? It will be for our own benefit, anyway.

I think it's not the fault of a cellphone https://iprice.vn/gia-ban/apple-iphone-8-plus/ (https://iprice.vn/gia-ban/apple-iphone-8-plus/). It's about how we manage to use it.

It can be said that I am addicted to smart phones. At the end of the day I have often never been separated from a smartphone. The point is we have to be addicted in a positive way so that it can be useful. But the impact of this addiction is very dangerous for the health of our eyes, so we must be smart in maintaining our health.

Not really! Im rather a computer addict, spending a long time in front of it.

Addiction is a very sad thing for long-term life especially time. So, I don't want to be addicted to something that is very detrimental to my wasted time.

Seriously speaking am addicted to my phone and am trying to reduce the addiction because it is negatively affecting some part of my life. I need advise on what I can do to reduce the addiction.

I'm not a Cell Phone Addict. I din't use smartphones cause I can't afford to buy. I'm using only ordinary phone.

Yes, I am. I spend a lot of time on my cell phone every day. Playing games then facebook check then shopping online, all in my cell phone.

I'm a cellphone addict too. I usually check on mails and messages. I don't know how to stop do that all the time.

no, when I need mobile phone then I use it, I am not addicted at all

Undoubtedly modern phones in many ways help to be active in the social world or issues related to work, but do not need to be dependent on them!

No, i am not. it's going to reason massive on your frame, it so dangerous while you usually keep it due to it radiation. I do maintain it once I had a time to check some essential messages or emails.

Am a cellphone addict when my laptop is not around lol...Sure one thing that makes cell phones very addicted is , you have it with you everywhere you go and its very mobile . I like to use my phone always. Sure sometimes when i get bored , there are couple of installed games on it i can play to relieve myself and sometimes too, there are other related business apps that is installed of which i have to attend to. However the two most addicting and enticing thing that keeps me glued to my phone is whatsapp and facebook lol

For me it is true. Cause I can't live without my cell phone.It's my one of the best device for my free time.

im a work addict , cell dont have  a danger

Yes, I'm cell phone addict but I use it for good cause like i do bounties and airdrops for pocket money also i do part time blogging.

if it is said that it is not an addict, it is very difficult because the necessity that results when you do not hold your cellphone, there must be something that you feel is not available

Don't use wifi hehehez.

Me too, I've only used my cellphone for android games, social media and for contacting my family or relatives.

I spent much time using it, but not in "addict" way. I use to to work, to read news and to chat with people. I don't feel or see any addiction in my case.

i am no longer addicted, I just need my telephone 24/7

Try to use a old phone which just call and send MSM, you will out of addict.  :)

No, I am not! I understand that having anything entails responsibility. So I'm not so much attached to anything. I think the key is discipline. Just bear in your mind what a cellphone is used for, and you'll not be addicted to it anymore. Try to live a life also outside the virtual realm, a physical life. Engage in physically social activities rather than digital social ones.

I am no longer addicted to phones after buying a laptop. I think when I need and don't keep pressing for a long time during the day.

yes, probably every body here's a cellular phone addict.

I don't think that most of the peeps are addicted to their smart phones, but instead they are addicted to social media and it just happens that smart phones are used as a medium to access social media.

I am addicted to cell phone use some times because of YouTube and I watch all the time

Use all the time but do nothing productive

It is great at least you do something productive

Nope I only use my cellphone if necessary.

Yes, we've been addicted to our phones for 10 years.
Alas, this is the future.
And the further, the more terrible

Do you take your phone with you to the bathroom? Do you swipe at your phone's screen at red lights? Do you forget to look at your significant other's face sometimes? If so, you may be suffering from a serious phone addiction. But how addicted are you? To find out, answer these ten simple questions. Please keep in mind that this quiz is just for fun, and not meant to be taken too seriously. Please have fun with it! If you enjoy this quiz, don't forget to share it with your friends!

I just want to say that I know someone that is particularly addicted or says "I'm not obsessed with my phone and I can turn it all away if I want to" but continues to phone every time she wakes up, she falls asleep, texts on the phone while watching Netflix, etc. I hate it because it means you are not focusing entirely with something you are doing, like for example the watching Netflix that I said, she always watches a lot of series and movies, but she still uses her phone while watching the movie, not realizing she already has spent her whole day like that.

It's not productive to see someone like that unless they are using their phone with the rights like earning money with it but that is unlikely but it's okay. You can never change someone for who she indeed is, but at least somebody tried to help her.

It's hard not to be a cell phone addict in this day and age. We're measuring digital interactions quantitatively now-they can be measured with likes or upvotes, which makes it very addictive and unnatural.

After having recognized this I use my phone a lot less, but my SO makes her living on social media and gets paid to post on the gram and the amount of time she spends scouring feeds seems to be much more than she spends enjoying her actual life.

This is why I hope virtual reality will soon change how we approach social media and make it somewhat "human." Face-to-face interaction. Facebook didn't buy Oculus for nothing.

I suppose I should be honest and tell that I really am. Modern life can not be separsted from devices and gadgets, so our life flows there as well. I wake up searching the web and go to sleep wishing "good night" to all my frinds with whom I am texting. I do not deny the fact that i am to a certain extent addicted to my cell phone but when I am hanging out with friends or traveling I forget about it immediately.

I think so because always i'm spending my time with my mobile. Facebook, insta, whatsapp, viber. I always waste my time because of them.

I use my cell phone over several hours every day, and I can sense my addiction to various apps, and to the phone itself. I can't let go of the phone easily, always checking one app or the other.  My addiction has the convenient cover that I am launching an ICO myself, so I need to be on the phone 24x7. But, under that mask, I know there's addiction as usual.

Yes, the phone is constantly on my hands and this is a fact, yes, I depend on it, but only to be in touch with relatives and friends and nothing more. I used to sit in it longer in childhood but not now. I use it only for its intended purpose.

Yes - I think us as a society are addicted to our mobile phones. The new aspect of the iPhone showing screen time proves that - we almost spend more time staring at a screen than at each other! It is an epidemic

mostly all people have this, especially those youth generation, they grew up in an environment of playing tabs, computers games, when talk about related healthy life, they only can think of gym, yoga, they barely can join sports

yes I'm addicted by cell phone.I always keep a cell phone because it use my different works.Through it I can communicate everywhere.I get different information,so I'm addicted by cell phone.

Haha Of course Yes ! im a bitcoiner already !  8) ..make sense.. haha

I think i am a little bit addict, because sometimes i can spend 5 hours just watching Instagram photos or videos. So, i am trying to do something with that and i just switch off the phone and read a book instead or talk to my family. That really helps.

i also use the cellphone "smartphone" a lot, maybe only sunday not. i use because is fast, and now can do almost all what i need on it. receive documents, edit them and other stuff i need

I'm sure that all the people nowadays are addicted to their cell phones, because it makes our life easier and more comfortable. We have all the information we need with us every moment. We can take pictures, write messages, make phone calls and the other things we can't do without.

Yes and No. Yes, because I work via my phone. And no, because if I don't have work-you won't see me using my phone.

I guess, it would appear to be so.. but not really! :o Since, if there are other devices for me to use, I won't actually miss my cell phone that much.

The weird thing is that, I could do without calling anyone, but I can't do without texting and using my cellphone's ability to go on the Internet instead! :-\

I've been trying to use my phone less by holding it on silent and not receiving social media notifications. Actually helps. Also the apps that show you how much you actually spend time on your phone are rather good.

I might be. Spending too much time there.

I think every one of us are a bit of a slave to their phone... As long as it's not harmful I guess it's fine and of course we cannot forget the people around us too. One of the worst things lately is that people cannot seem to get their eyes of their phone even on the road - I have witnessed it myself how one girl was so occupied with her phone that she didn't even notice the queue of cars behind her as she was going so slow until the moment when her car engine stopped...

I'm definitely quilty... however I'm trying to avoid being on my phone when I'm out with friends, but otherwise I wouldn't imagine my life without it. I wouldn't even be able to tell the time, wake up at the right time or even get around town without it.

For sure an addict, I can’t go 5 minutes without checking something on my phone.

Excessive cell phone use is a trend that is growing every day. We are consumed with life behind the screen. But why? Because often, in the digital world, flowers are blooming and the sun is always shining.

I cannot even recollect in my memory a person who is not addicted to gadgets. It's a pity, of course. Yet, that's true. Remembering a couple having a dinner in an expensive restaurant. They have been sitting in front of each other for more than 2 hours and everything they said, was: "Thank you" and "Love you". Rest of the time they've been playing a game in their cells. Quite sad  :(

I came here to say pretty much the same thing.. even 3 year old need their ipads or they will get grumpy.

At official events, I try not to use the phone, because then the information is perceived adequately and with understanding

I don't consider myself an addict, because I use my phone out of necessity. I use it for work.

Cellphones help me get out of awkward situations.

I think I am becoming one of those cellphone addicts! Maybe because my phone had it all, everything are saved in my phone, And without this I can't even call my mom because I don't memorize her number! This is reality, that I am very dependable to my phone. :(

Well I like to play mobile games like blackjack and poker

yes, unfortunately I am a cell phone addict but I think because I use it to do various things such as texting, calling, listening to music, watching videos, using the gps navigator, the calculator, taking pictures, surfing the internet, viewing altcoin quotes

I think that if we are addicted to our phones, and that to improve this we should put in hours of use, when we do not use the phones for educational or work purposes. I usually use my phone for work, college (doing research), and to talk to my friends from time to time to play.  :)

Hell yeah... i'm trying to quit

More like a Blockfolio addict

I can say yes i am one of the million people around the world that is addicted in using cellphone because there are many things that i can do in my smartphone like earning money online through my cellphone , paying bills using my cellphone and also i like to play online games using my cellphone. Its my everyday routine that i am using my cellphone for me to relieve boredom also.

Yes perhaps due to fact I'm in sales line

I use my phone for listening to music and browsing social media like twitter and sometimes facebook. I barely use it to exchange text messages and calls to anyone. I don't think I am a cellphone addict.  ;D

Oh yeah, I really enjoy the company of my phone because it's expose me to a different world,which I really can't do without, so I would say am addicted and my head always down on my phone.

Because I need it to play mobile games

I can say I'm not, but it's becoming my habit to check my phone, Everytime I'm bored or before going to bed.

I don't think I am...I'm using it when I have to or when I'm extremely bored but as long as I have stuff to do, social events with friends and stuff, I'm able to not using my cell phone all day

I am more of an internet addict, without internet connection, I don't use my phone often.

I must confess that he spent a lot of time on the mobile and if it is not on my phone it is on my pc  :-\ :-\ :-\

People on the steets all looking like zombies these days.

Accidents happen in traffic while apping, very dangerous situations.

Yes, most of the time I always hold my phone playing games and doing some extra kinda stuff like watching anime or reading some quotes in Facebook.

It is actually a necessity for my job so I can call it an addiction too. :)

Yes im extremely addicted to my phone.My life revolves around my phone usage.This is a problem its almost if my brain is on auto pilot when i use my phone. I put my phone down then 2 minutes later im back on it then by the time i have realized hours have been consumed sad but true.

Since my iPhone is tracking my phone usage, I came to the conclusion I might be a bit more addicted then I thougt lol

I try to minimize how much i use my phone. i've uninstalled a bunch of apps that took up a lot of my  time and i've started reading more instead. Feel more productive now.

Let's say Yes, but ofcourse if is part of a daily living routine so yeah.

I don't have any apps that I spend a lot of time on, I check my social media but it takes 1 hour a day probably, on the other hand, I spend a lot of time on the computer.

I would not say I am addicted to my cell phone. Cell phone is like an information into the inside world. We get several information just at the click of a button. Excessive use of it is what I will call addiction.

yeah some time when i get bore i want waste time.

first what i do when i wake up is check phone then get up ;d

i'm not much addicted to mobile but i play pubg little bit.

I learned not to be addicted, I don't use it much actually. It usually distracts you from your goals.

Nope, I just check whatsapp messages and put it away. Unless I'm away from home, I use my phone to read and make plans. It's not an addiction for me, I can live without it.

Not yet, but nearly becoming one. If you define it as holding my phone most of the time then I think I am.

Yes i am a cellphone addict i always have my phone 247

won't be bad to be addicted to something that also can bring about creative aspect of me

No I'm not! I spend most of the time in front of a proper desktop computer...  :D

I hate small displays, i spend most of my free time on my computer, I just use my phone for messaging basically.

Yes i'm addicted. I can't stand long enough from my phone. Not for game but social media and to monitor my email

Totally, but I try to use it to my advantage, First of all, I work with the help of my cell phone, and secondly, I use Instagram, Facebook, and other social media to learn languages, so every time I open one of them I learn a new word or a phrase. It works! And I don't feel guilty as my time is spent on something useful. Also, social media are a source of inspiration for my design ideas.

Depends on how you define "addict". We depend on our cell phones for communication and in this age of social media, it's even harder to not use our cell phones!

I also feel dependent on the cellular, well, without him, he and my alarm clock, and my reminder of important events, and music, and pleasant communication with important people for me. I can not without him.

Yes, I am very used to it! And I want to get rid of this habit, as it takes a lot of time...)

We need phones nowadays to get connected and to acquire information, addiction may relate to screen dependency disorder.

I don’t even watch TV for about 8 years,
So telephone addiction does not suffer even more

I totally agree with you, even now at concerts people instead of listening to music, shoot for hours on the phone the whole process. From this there is no pleasure

In some cases it is not addiction, what happens is that when we get used to certain comforts, we make it essential, so that leads us to not have them, we have or fall into despair, it is very necessary for our lives, in how keep us communicated and at the same time interact in real time in front of important events. If we have our phone on, what we always do is check what has arrived, if a text, whats app, any notification from a social network.

I agree with your statement, it's true that people nowadays usually spent most of their time using mobile phones and that made them unaware of their social life. Since we used a mobile phone all the time it consumes every single second that we can actually use on making a talk or conversation to other people face to face.

unfortunately i have to say yes among the various games and the control of the crypto i am cellular addicted...

It is very sad to say, but actually, yes, I have cellphone addiction. And I really do not know what i can do with it, how i can avoid it in future. It is now a great problem of humanity

2 years ago I lost my phone in a vegetable market, and I did not have the money to buy a new phone, and I really felt very bad, the dependence on phones is incredible and makes us more and more dependent on technology , I see this as a need before an addiction, because the need to be always communicated, is something that we can not fail to perceive.

I feel like anyone with a smartphone is a cell phone addict

I'm a tech device addict, and I'm also addicted to the Cell phone. I have a habit of going to bed, and after waking up, I often use my phone, this is a bad habit and it makes me lazy.

Nope, i’m not a cell phone addict, at least i try not to be. Not only cell phones, these type of small devices are everywhere and many people became an addict. Spending too much time on social platforms or playing games steal so much time from everyone.

I am addicted in ipad lol not in smartphone  ;D
But what i browsed is this forum and exchange in which my coins and tokens listed because i don't wanna late for the ride as bull is near to come .this is my access since laptop is too bulky to bring at all time

Im not addcted to my phobes because Im using it for communication and to work here in the crypto community and we all know that we are using phones for crypto. For sure most of the people using cellphone and spend a lot of time which is not good habit but if you have good purposes use it.

I know many people who can't live without their cell phones, and this is a big problem, there is no way to help them.

Yeah you could consider me as a cell phone addict .
I use my phone everytime that I could .
I use it for work , social media and games.

I find the statements with regards to a cellphone addicts, is that a person who owns a lot of phones.
To be more specific questions I think is "Are you a cellphone user addict?".

Years back?no i am not a cellphone addict as i only using my fone to contact some friends,family and workmate and sometimes watching videos and movies

But everything change when i learned and enter cryptocurrency and whn i learn trading because from that point i always check exchanges to see the movements of my coins and tokens

And this comes to a time that my wife thought that i am cheating because i always hold my fone and check from time to time.without her notice that thats only for crypto lol.but now i had explained already to her so things fine

I think most of us addicted to mobile phones. But I am afraid that nowadays kids are in a worse situation. It is okay for a 3 years kid to use a PC tablet or mobile phone. And for me, this is still kind of weird xD

My nephew are using cellphone to watch videos and he is only 2 years old remember cellphones is not bad if you are using it on the right things.  It is not weird because many children now are using phones younger and younger nowadays and thag's normal.

Now what could a man without a phone? absolutely nothing. All life is tied to social networks and other interests. But for me personally, gadgets are my income, so for me it is a necessity and not an addiction

I think everyone can't live without their smartphones nowadays.

If there's some important messages that you are waiting for, work related or not as long as it is important, you can't remove your attention there. Gladly, I'm not an addicted person with my smartphone. Because most of the time, I'm facing my desktop instead of it. With the rise of mobile games today, many became addicted to it and it has affected their emotional and social status.

I usually leave my phone at home when I go out on errands unless I am expecting an important call, I don't feel the need to be tied to it 24/7 but then I am not a big fan of social media, either. My home computer, though - now that would be hard to part with as that does make-up a large part of my day.

In fact we are all addicted to cell phones.
I can not sit for one hour without using my mobile phone. I think the most successful way to reduce it is to help someone else by giving it to your phone and not letting you use it unless necessary

No, we are not all addicted to our cell phones. From what i can see you most likely are very addicted to your phone and that should be something to be concerned about since cell phones are destroying our lives instead of improving it. Honestly i dont understand why people are so addicted to their phones and social media ,but everyone is different and each one can decide how to spend his life.

I use my phone mainly for work. But I make sure that I don't get hooked to it to the point that I ignore socializing with people, especially my family. After work, I get off the phone and the internet and spend time with my kids.

I have to confess that I'm very nervous if I loose or can't find my cell phone.
Even during my regular work I use every free moment to check out new messages :)

Everyone has become so, I also do not watch television since I have a phone. The phone took over the television
We can get news through the phone.
There is no TV anymore.

I only use my cellphone if necessary and not using for games.

unfortunately yes, my cell phone is always with me and I use it about every 5 minutes to check notifications, to see altcoin prices, to play games, obviously when i'm not at work...

Now that I think about it I am verified  Cell Phone addict,
It is the first thing that I would search when I wake up and the last thing that I hold before I sleep.

I like to pretend I am not addicted. But totally can't live without my cell phone.

Somewhat. I had to switch from Cricket to AT&T's 8GB plan because I use so much data. lol

I mainly use it for sending SMS and making calls only. I don't play games or watch movies on it.

I should say "yes" because I spent almost 9 to 10 hour daily operating my cellphone. However,  I also make money through the cellphone too and I am happy be around my phone.  I think my addictions is a good one because I am making money from it.

I use my cellphone a lot but I don't know if this qualifies as an addiction considering that I use them for doing useful things online. I hardly spend a lot of my online time on things that add no value to my life.

I also spend most of my time and I look at the phone screen. I can not get rid of it so it's a tough thing, so when I want to know how long it is to see the phone

You're wrong , you can live without social networks and phone , I gave up the phone and social networks 2 years ago and I'm good , only I use a button phone and all

Yeah, I can called myself addicted of mobile. But now i have controlled myself because my family felt illiterate with me, and also my regular life has been disturbed, i couldn't sleep on right time and in mid night whenever i waked up i used mobile.
So in short, it is time to change myself, that's why i restrict myself that i use mobile less, and little bit i have changed.

That's a good dude. I am also addicted to my phone but I don't make money much, most of my time I watch Youtube and enjoying some bloggers and hoping to be one of them soon. I am really addicted browsing on Facebook and also watching some interesting news from it.

I use the phone very often , so most of the work is concentrated in the phone , of course if I worked on the construction site I would not need the phone

Same with you I'm also using my cellphone without getting any profits, just used it in a regular basis checking chats and fb updates aside from that I also watched videos from YouTube using my spare time but again nothing to be profitable in returned.

You can live without a mobile phone today, 25 years ago only a few people needed a mobile phone, now everyone has at least one. I use my phone to read the news and watch the latest bitcoin price.

Most of us are feeling dyimg once they don't have phones or internet because they routine now is using cellphone. I believe to the people who live before because they can become happy their selves even they don't have cellphone they spend their time to work and talking to their family or bonding everyday not like today.

Now I can’t go anywhere without my smartphone. The thing is that my whole life is in it. Apparently, we are really addicted.

Yes, we depend on phones.

Let's just say that cellphones have become a necessity nowadays and it's hard to determine if working on your phone most of the day is an addiction or not. We have apps that has become part of our work, used as communication with families and friends, used for health snd entertainment etc. Some can be pointed out as addiction but not for everyone.

there is no one lives here in this world without the help of cell phones especially after the entry of Smartphones it will be nothing without the mobiles and I also been in this case from a long period of time.

This is very true, today the cell phone is not an addiction, it is a prevailing need, because it is very easy to access information, to have live events in full development.

Most people already have as their main means of communication their cell phone, in addition to some App that are very necessary to communicate like Whats App, Telegram, social networks like Facebook, Twitter, which, today, people have given the enhancement that they think they deserve, many live on social networks, if there is not a PC nearby, the same phone can work like a PC, the internet is right there ready to be used at any time.

The global communication through App like Zoom, Skype, is what facilitates everything, for these reasons I think that people see the use of the cell phone very necessary. And the people who are older have taken many the initiative to start taking as learning measures the correct use of the cell phone with some App, for their correct communication, they have been modernized little by little.

These changes are very good, because the digital age that we are, advances every day, cell phones are much more powerful and have more resources to use, there are many sizes, large, small and medium, to suit the tastes of each person.

Is that bad? If the event is interesting to the person, he will not use the phone

Cellphone, especially smartphone, is very useful. Not only for entertainment, some people use smartphone to do their job. Addiction is bad but maybe in some cases it's not addiction, people actually need the smartphone to accomplish something. If I leave home without my smartphone, yes I would feel that I'm missing something. But I don't think it's because I'm addicted to my phone, it's just a pretty handy thing to have. Your family or somebody can reach you anytime anywhere, or when you have trouble you could call someone to ask for help, etc.

Just  checked on my statistic, in average I spend 6 hours a day using my cell phone. Can I be called addicted? My girlfriends spends more than 9 hours, so I guess I'm fine for now :D

Not only cellphone but also Laptop and Computer,i love sitting and using all my internet gadget and this make me feel complete everyday

Sad to say it, buddy, but you're both addicted if you stare at that little device that long each day.
Personally, I only use my phone for work and emergency calls, I am rather addicted to the internet though. A good chunk of my time is spent online, lately.

Set up a timer on my phone. No more than 20 mins per day.

Everyday I wake up with checking the notifications on my mobile.

At the end of everyday I will be using mobile as my last activity.

Not sure I am addicted or not. :D

Yes you are dude. I just want to say something so that you are aware. Cell phones have high radiation that can affect your health. You should put it away like a few meters from you even when you are sleeping. Me, I am also like you but when I know the possible effect I started to learn.

Yes I am aware but all the things we are doing have harms just like the inorganic foods on most places and depletion of ozone layer.

Yes too much addicted using cellphone.what is life without cellphone? One of the most important things today is cellphone.this is a part of our life.makes our boring life to entertain us.a lot of used of this cellphone even now using for typing in this forum.
Thats why Im addicted in cellphone.

unfortunately yes i am addicted to mobile gaming,i play at least 3 hours a day at candy crash

Well im not a cell phone addict since I rarely play mobile games and just using my phone when necessary like checking my emails or logging in here in the forum. But this is not the case when I was a teenager, that time if you have a phone you're in and I have many text mates and call mates so I spent most of the time using my phone and sleeping late. But everything changed when I got married maybe because my priority already is my family and their welfare so I have to focus on how to earn money to sustain their needs.

I believe that today, almost all of humanity depends on high technology, including on its smartphones.  We are not talking about addiction, like addiction, because this addiction is completely different.  The point is that today, using a smartphone, a person can completely manage and own information, including managing his life, which includes various actions using the Internet and a smartphone.  For example, to buy goods or pay bills, as well as communicate with government agencies and receive various documents that are important in your life.  Everything can be done not only using a computer, but also using a smartphone.  I believe that this is the dependence of the modern world on smartphones.

if having cellphone in our hands almost 24/7 a day then i might be addict lol.though i dont usually use my Mobile but i love this in may hands or somewhere close to mine.even in sleeping i want my Mobile in my headboard or under my lampshade .this is how much i wanted my gadgets nearer me.

No, although I got the phone at a fairly early age, I don’t have a strong craving for using it, now these are mostly calls and a couple of applications for work.

Yes, I’m a 100% addict to the cellphone. I don’t know what to do without new information constantly updating all social networks :o

My phone is mostly for conversation.

Yes I am addicted, everyday 16 hours I use my cellphone. I know that this is bad, but I can not do anything about it.

I have no dependence on the phone at all. I use it rarely and only when it necessary. Also, I almost always have airplane mode turned on to reduce electromagnetic radiation. Because there are scientific researches that confirm the negative impact of any electrical devices on the human body (especially cellular communications, wi-fi and more).

Ya I am but there is good thing happened so I am proud to be cellphone addict.

i am a cell phone addict , i am completely avoid using cell phone i am happy now this cell phone addiction is same as drugs addiction

So how are you gonna call or check emails on-the-go?

No, I am not addicted.

There are more than 60% of mobile users addicted to phones i would say. Smart phones learn from you more than you learn from them and they only show you what you want to see. Meaning you spend more and more time looking at it

I used to be so addicted to my phone that sometimes usually used to be carried away with operating my phone even when i am in the midst of friends and family discussing important issues which has became my very bad habit,  but upon being corrected by my friends of how bad the habit is i had to adjust and now i am no longer addicted to my phone i only use it when its necessary and on now account will i allow it to distract me durring an important discussions.  This is applicable to all who are so addicted to their phones, to break out of this addiction they can discipline themselves to only use their phone when it is so necessary.
