What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?
For me, it’s not just one app. It’s two. TikTok and Instagram have me in a chokehold.
When I was working, my entire lunch break was spent scrolling videos. I would tell myself I was just taking a quick break, and suddenly my lunch was over. Now that I’m not working, my screen time has somehow jumped to 10 hours a day, and almost all of it is still TikTok and Instagram. It’s honestly kind of impressive when you think about it- like in a pathetic way.
I did download a game, but if I’m being realistic, I barely touch it compared to the amount of videos I consume every day. Apparently watching strangers organize their pantry, deep clean their house, and tell dramatic storytimes has become my full-time hobby.
I also read that you’re supposed to post every time you open the app to make yourself more intentional about using it. In theory, that sounds great. In reality, no one needs to hear from me every 10 minutes. I would become everyone’s most muted person within a week.
