Increased time spent on social by U.S. users during COVID-19 pandemic 2020
As of March 2020, social media users in the United States were staying online more. According to a survey of U.S. social media users, 29.7 percent of respondents were using social media 1-2 hours additional hours per day. A further 20.5 percent used social media 30 minutes to 1 hour more than usual per day. Only 1.6 percent of users were adding less than 15 minutes to their usage. Additional social media usage was a result of the coronavirus pandemic, which caused stay home orders and social distancing to be put in place in the country.
