For mobile devices specifically, users spend about 3 to 4 hours per day online on smartphones and tablets.

On social media alone, users typically spend around 2 to 3 hours per day.
Video streaming platforms (e.g., YouTube, Netflix) account for a significant portion of online time as well. In the U.S., people spend an average of 1 to 2 hours daily watching videos online.
