An average social media user spends about 2 hours 25 minutes on social media sites per day , which amounts to almost 17 hours per week, data by Statista Research Department published in November 2021 has suggested.
The number is up 61 percent compared to 2012, when users were spending an average of around 90 minutes per day on social media apps and websites.
