How do American screen times compare to the rest of the world?

Have you ever wondered whether your (or your kids’)  screen time is above average? On Wednesday, Comparitech researchers will be publishing a study looking at the screen times of Americans compared to the rest of the world. The report also looks at the data of what kind of media people are using their screens for. 

Key findings include: 

  • The average American spends almost 7 hours looking at a screen each day.
  • Worldwide, the average user spends 2 hours and 52 minutes looking at their computer screens and 3 hours and 46 minutes looking at their mobiles.
  • Americans are above average for their desktop screen consumption (3 hours and 18 minutes) but are just below average for their mobile consumption 3 hours and 22 minutes).
  • Worldwide, the average person spends 2 hours and 21 minutes on social media each day. Americans consume less than this, averaging 2 hours and 9 minutes per day.
