A new study revealed the total number of hours Americans spending using their toilet phones every year and the result should probably be concerned about us … And in Greece it would be interesting to do a similar study. A group of bathroom supplies company conducted a survey of 500 Americans on their bathroom habits. According to the study, Americans spend 49 hours using their phone in the toilet!

They frantically surf social media (66%), watch videos (40%), respond to messages (37%), read news (36%), send emails (36%), play games (29%), make electronic purchases (14%), completion (9%). Fortunately, there is only 2% of respondents who revealed that it even made video calls!

And Gen Z starred in this … dirty habit. The generation born between 1997 and 2012 admitted that it spends an average of 54 hours to do doomscroling (the incessant reading of news) while in the toilet. Indeed, this generation admitted that this is how time passes. In fact, over 6 out of 10 people (61%) admit that they stay in the toilet more time to finish something on their phone. Nearly 2 in 5 (42%) are even locked in the toilet just to take a break with their mobile.

Evidence shows how much social media, especially applications like Tiktok, have penetrated even our most personal moments, experts say meaningfully. And, unfortunately, this habit is more dirty than most would expect, especially because only 1 in 4 people clean his phone after using it in the toilet.
