Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesIt goes with us everywhere. You're reading this right now on your phone or desktop. If you're like me, if you leave your phone at home, you feel lost until you get it back. We are addicted to our phones, not for calls, but social media.
To put things in perspective, let's take a look at some of the most impressive stats:
- An average user spends two and a half hours daily on social media in 2022.
- Half of our time on our phones in 2022 is reserved for social media.
- Facebook is the most popular, costing people an average of 58 minutes each day.
- YouTube takes an average of 19 minutes daily.
- Users spend an average of 30 minutes per day on Snapchat.
- Instagram users are spending an average of 28 minutes on the platform daily
- Pinterest users take it slow and scroll through ideas for only 14.2 minutes every day.
Impressive, right? Especially when we consider that there are 4.7 billion people actively using social networks.
What’s more, they are spending the majority of their social media time on the six most popular platforms.
China and India, of course, have the highest number of social network users, with 1.02 billion and 722 million, respectively. The United States comes third with 302 million users.
According to Statista, Nigerians lead the way with 4 hours and 7 minutes daily on social media channels. The second place goes to the Philippines, which spend just a minute less than Nigerians. The bronze medal goes to India with just three minutes more compared to the global average—2 hours and 36 minutes.

78% of Northern America’s population are social media users. 83% of Western Europe and 71% of Eastern Asia follow suit. The least amount of social network fans are in Middle Africa (9%).
