A 2019 survey by global tech care company Asurion found that on average, Americans check their phones 96 times a day, meaning once every 10 minutes.

This is a 20 percent daily increase compared to a similar study conducted two years earlier.

Asurion also reported 18- to 24-year-olds check their phones twice as much as the national average, and this age group is more likely to attempt to limit phone use.

The number one reason people surveyed reported that they use their phones is to stay in touch with friends and family.
