Time spent on the internet in Indonesia
With a rapidly growing number of internet users in recent years, Indonesia may have one of the largest online populations globally. Not only do most Indonesians have access to the internet these days, but they are also relatively active on the internet, with an average of nearly eight hours of internet use per day. Out of all the time they spent on online media, Indonesian internet users spent around three hours on their favourite social media.
Internet usage trends in Indonesia
 
In a recent survey on attitudes towards the internet in Indonesia, the majority of respondents claimed it was very important for them to have access to mobile internet at all times wherever they were. This may be due to the convenience of accessing the internet or social media they are on. As of the third quarter of 2019, watching videos and listening to music services were among the most popular activities done by Indonesians online.
