People are spending an average of 4.8 hours a day on their mobile phones, according to app monitoring firm App Annie.
In 2020, UK regulator Ofcom found similar amounts of time spent, although its research included watching TV.
App Annie's report indicates that apps were downloaded 230 billion times in 2021, while $170bn (£125bn) was spent.
TikTok was the most downloaded app worldwide, with users spending 90% more time there compared to 2020.
"The big screen is slowly dying as mobile continues to break records in virtually every category - time spent, downloads and revenue," said chief executive of App Annie, Theodore Krantz.
Well, I must be one of the exceptions - because I spend a lot less than 4.8 hours on my mobile... most days, I spend less than 1 hour on mine !
(Then again, I spend more than 4.8 hours a day on a laptop - either my work one or my personal one - and I'm not sure that that's any better ...)
