I haven’t seen this question asked for a long time. Especially not since Screen Time was introduced (if anyone uses it). Anyway, curious to see. Also I wanted to be more specific than previous questions have been. And this is specific to phones, not tablets or other devices. Thanks.

Note- I excluded navigation because that’s just something pretty much everyone has going in the background for long periods of time as they’re driving.
 
Messaging/calling (I'll group them together as they're both traditional phone things), video consumption, audio consumption would be top 3. If it's a top 5 I'll add web browsing and gaming. I ultimately do everything on that list.
 
YouTube, forums and browsing, messaging. I’m trying to take more pictures and videos as of late.
 
In order:
1.) Browsing Safari
2.) Messaging
3.) YouTube/Reading news/FPL
 
How’s that working out for you during the pandemic? 😬 😷
I've only had one match. The woman told me that she wanted to see how many men are patient and show her that they care about their health/the health of others enough to wait before meeting in person. Then, after chatting for three days, complained she wasn't looking for a pen pal and unmatched with me. I don't think that was the real reason, but I guess she didn't want to hurt my feelings.
