Smartphones are a way to communicate with friends and family, relax, and have fun and even work.
However, smartphones are harmful to eye health and can be addictive. Check how addicted you are to your smartphone with the help of a checklist.
You are chatting with a person who is nearby
If you'd rather text your roommate than talk in person, this may indicate that you're more used to chatting online.
You constantly check your social media feed
Aimlessly checking for new messages and updates on social networks is also a sign of Internet addiction.
For example, you can check social networks throughout the day.
Do you often keep your smartphone nearby
If you have a fear of leaving your mobile phone unattended, this may also indicate that you are too accustomed to not parting with your gadget.
Other people notice your addiction
If your loved ones often point out that, you are always on your smartphone and do not notice what is happening around.
For example, at a meeting with friends, a walk in the park, at a family dinner or a holiday.
You start and end your day with your smartphone
If the first thing you do in the morning is check your messages and social media feeds, this may also indicate that you have a lot of screen time.
