Australian social media users go mobile and shun their dinner companions, Sensis finds
Australians are increasing their social media use, becoming more absorbed in their phones and softening their attitudes towards advertising, reports the Sensis 2017 Social Media Survey.
Surveying 800 Australians across all age groups, Sensis found nearly 80% of the nation’s internet users are now on social media services which they mainly access though their smartphones.
Despite reports of people deleting the Facebook app, over 90% of Australian internet users across all age brackets – including the over-64 cohort – are on the service with nearly a third of Aussies spending over 30 minutes each day checking their feeds.
