LONDON—The average U.S. Millennial with Internet access spends 3.1 hours a day on a mobile phone.
That adds up to 21.7 hours a week or 1,128 hours (47 days) a year, according to a new study.
The study from global research firm TNS also looked at U.S. Millennials' use of other media and technologies, finding that 76% watch online video on a daily basis; 71% use social media; and 55% use instant messaging. Millennials spend nearly three hours a day watching on-demand video and TV shows on the Internet.
Despite watching TV, reading newspapers, and listening to radio, Millennials on average spend only 2.9 hours each day consuming content on those platforms.
In contrast, individuals aged 46-65 spend 4.3 hours each day watching TV, reading newspapers and listening to the radio, and just 1.2 hours a day on mobile phones.
The report surveyed more than 60,000 Internet users across 50 countries on their digital attitudes and behaviors.
