Wake-up call as research reveals we check our phones 50 times a day

Irish people check their phones an average of 50 times per day and women use their phones more than men, according to research. Two-thirds of people admit they are now trying to limit their phone use.

More than half of the respondents to Deloitte’s Mobile Consumer Survey 2019 acknowledge they check their phone too much and 4% admit they check their phone more than 200 times per day. The survey reveals that mobile phone use is becoming more invasive in people’s lives.
