As of 2025, Europe’s estimated population is approximately 744 million people . 
Smartphone penetration in Europe is notably high.
According to the GSMA, by 2030, unique mobile subscribers are expected to reach 89% penetration across Europe .
Assuming a current penetration rate of around 85%, this would translate to approximately 633 million people using smartphones in Europe.
So it’s only going up not down 🫣.

seems a misleading headline .
Based on the article it is not that younger people are spending less time.
They want to spend less time but they are not.
