I have to admit I'm a little addicted to my phone, specifically to Tik Tok. Anytime I have free time, whether that is waiting for the metro to arrive, sitting in the car, or laying in my bed right before I go to sleep, I will most likely be on TikTok. It's something that is strangely addicting and keeps me mindlessly scrolling for way longer than I'd expect.The reason why I'm so hooked to Tik Tok is because of their for you page algorithm that studies you as a viewer.
