SKL Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 On the iphone? I'm not sure what constitutes an app vs. a website or whatever? I realize this makes me a dinosaur. My usage varies over time. When I'm being healthy, I check the health app a lot, LOL. I check the weather app if I am worrying about getting rained out or having a horribly hot day for a planned event/activity. I opened twitter and instagram accounts for the sole purpose of following my favorite musician. So I click on those at least daily, but I never post. I also play certain games on the iphone daily. Several New York Times free games, nerdle, quordle, 2048, and I check worldle to see if I'm up to it. I don't know if these would be called "apps" though. Facebook I usually use on my laptop, but sometimes when I don't have laptop access, I'll check it on my cell phone. Maps probably gets used an average of 2x/week? Similarly, google is used, but not super frequently. I don't use my phone for music or TV/youtube watching, except in rare instances (like when I need to watch a demonstration of my TKD form before my class, or when I want to prove to my kids of the official existence of a song I'm singing. 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I'm surprised that there is only one WhatsApp user. Is it not a commonly used app in the US?

My international friends and I don't touch base all that often. My friend who has international family probably uses it every day. But for me, I can contact everyone close to me for free with a regular phone call, text, email, or facebook message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Based on number of times I've opened them in the last 7 days: Habitica (gamified productivity) Sweepy (housework) Duolingo (to study Spanish) Rainbow (food tracker) and Watercat (water tracker) about equally Duo (video calling) I don't use YNAB or FB on my phone, nor my main email accounts, nor my school planning sheet--I use my laptop for those. I try to keep my phone use mostly productive. I don't have WhatsApp. I just text people or video call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storygirl Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 We've only ever used WhatsApp once, when we were on vacation, and it was the communication of choice for the guy we hired to drive us to and from the airport. DH thinks he is not even allowed to have it installed on his work phone, which he also uses as his personal phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storygirl Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I'm not sure how to check my app usage, other than looking at what uses the most battery life on my phone. That seems pretty accurate: Podcasts Libby library app for audiobooks FaceTime (my girls call me on FT, but if I initiate, it would be with a regular phone call) Yahoo Mail Safari Not too long ago, Candy Crush probably would have be up there, but I haven't been playing it recently.

I started using WhatsApp a few years ago when one of our group chat members was living overseas. I only recently put messenger on my phone.

Lady Florida. Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Facebook Messenger Accuweather Podcast Guru Fitbit Why can I only pick 5? lol I used WhatsApp when we were on a cruise so I could keep in touch with our cat sitter (the cat was just dx'd with diabetes right before we left so I needed to know she was doing okay). I currently only use it to chat with my friend who is living in Crete while her husband is stationed at Souda Bay. Mostly I use Messenger and the SMS app that came installed on my Samsung Galaxy phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
