The mobile phone app logos for, from left, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Eric Foster explains in his column today why he's taking a break from social media to start 2022.ATLANTA -- 11.5. That number is, according to the Screen Time Tracker on my iPhone, the average number of hours per week that I spent last month browsing Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on my phone. Eleven and a half hours. Almost half of an entire day, 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
What positively boggles my mind is how completely unaware I was about how much time I was spending on social media. If you would have asked me last week, I would have said that I don’t use social media a lot. I would have described myself as a relatively infrequent user — someone who checks their social media applications maybe once or twice per day and doesn’t spend much time browsing. I would have guessed that I spent, at most, maybe an hour per day on those apps.
