Gen Z Embraces Digital Detox, Reducing Phone Screen Time

Aaj Tak · lifestyle

Gen Z is actively seeking ways to reduce their excessive phone and social media usage, a trend known as digital detox. Many are using apps like Opal to block distracting platforms, requiring users to solve math problems to regain access. Others are switching to basic 'light phones' with only essential features or creating devices like the 'Brick' to block specific apps. Some are also prioritizing in-person meetups over online interactions, with apps like 'Pai' seeing significant user growth. This indicates a desire to control technology's role in their lives.
