What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?
The app I probably use most, is TikTok. I like the variety of content that you can just stumble across. You can be laughing at babies falling over, then the next video is some facts about history, or about a political situation in a different country. You have no idea what you will see on any day. And it’s great.
You do have to have an awareness of the algorithms though. Because if you have end up watching a particular type of content, you may get shown more of the same. So, if you fall down a rabbit hole of nasty content, you may see more extreme content. It’s very easy to become stuck in a bubble.
I try to give myself 30 minutes of scrolling time on TikTok at a time. So I can proper scroll, or watch someone’s Live, and after half an hour I close the app. I then put my phone down, and do something else.
Balance is important, after all.
