The Most Time Consuming Social Networks

It's an everyday sight - people using their phones while sitting on the train, waiting for a bus, or even having a meal with their partner. What exactly are they doing the whole time though? When it comes to social networks, Verto Analytics may have the answer. The most time spent in the U.S. on a 'mainstream' app is the 899 minutes per month of the average Facebook user.

The social network who's users invest the most time though is a networking app for gay, bi, and curious men - Grindr. WIth a huge 1,040 minutes on average, that's over 17 hours every month. In third place, Growlr is also a networking/dating app for homosexual men. The average user here spends 665 minutes per month. In eighth, Twitter's struggles are again highlighted, with only 176 minutes in Q3 2017.

Figures refer to usage across all platforms, not just mobile.
