The Gallup poll found that TikTok and YouTube account for most of the teen screen time
Yes, your teenage children really do spend much of their day looking at YouTube and TikTok videos on their phones.
That figure is even higher for some individual teen segments. For example, 17-year-olds spend 5.8 hours per day using social-media apps, versus 4.1 hours for 13-year-olds. Girls spend 5.3 hours, versus 4.4 hours for boys. The survey also looked at which social-media apps were the most popular. YouTube ranked in the top spot, accounting for 1.9 hours of daily teen viewing, and TikTok wasn’t far behind at 1.5 hours.
Some parents are clearly not wild about their kids spending all those hours on social media. According to Gallup, one in four parents strongly agree on the idea of restricting screen time for children ages 3 to 19.
