Daily Time Spent with Media from digital 2023 April global statshot report

GWI’s latest wave of “We Are Social’s Digital 2023 April Global Statshot Report” indicates that the amount of time the world spends online continues to decline. The latest figures reveal that the typical internet user now spends an average of 6 hours and 35 minutes per day using connected tech. That worldwide average is down by 2 minutes per day compared with the figure that we reported in our Digital 2023 Global Overview Report back in January, equating to a quarter-on-quarter decline of half a percent.

Meanwhile, GWI’s data indicates that internet users have reduced their online activities by an average of 18 minutes per day since this time last year, resulting in a year-on-year reduction of 4.4 percent. If you’d like to know more about what’s driving this trend, we explored potential reasons for these declines in our detailed Digital 2023 Deep-Dive.

But while these changes in the time that we spend online are important, it’s also worth putting the latest figures in perspective. For example, we’re still spending an average of over 6½ hours per day using the internet, which is more than twice as much time as we spend watching television. Moreover, the current average suggests that the world will still spend a combined total of 1.4 billion years of cumulative human existence using connected tech in 2023 alone. So, while we may be spending less time on the internet, there’s nothing to suggest that the internet is becoming any less important in our lives.
