Whether it's scrolling TikTok or squeezing in one last email, people across the UK and US are spending hours each year multitasking from the loo.\nQS Supplies surveyed 1,000 respondents to uncover how often people use their phones on the toilet and what they are doing while they are there. The findings reveal surprising patterns in generational habits, digital hygiene, and the blend of work and relaxation in one of the most unexpected rooms in the home.\nKey Findings\nAmericans spend about 2 full days (49 hours) a year scrolling on the toilet, while Britons spend approximately 1.5 days (36 hours).\nAmericans spend more than 4.5 days a year scrolling on Instagram and TikTok while on the toilet.\nGen Z leads all generations in toilet phone use, spending 54 hours per year scrolling while seated.\nOver 6 in 10 people (61%) admit to staying on the toilet longer just to finish something on their phone.\n72% of Gen Z say they've extended their toilet time to keep scrolling.\nOnly 1 in 4 people clean their phones after using them in the bathroom.\n1 in 20 people (5%) admit to attending a work call or meeting while on the toilet.\nThe Toilet: A Digital Time Sink\nAmericans spend more time than Brits scrolling while on the toilet — 49 hours compared to 36 hours per year.\nBathroom phone use is highest among Gen Z (92%) and millennials (92%), followed by Gen X (78%) and baby boomers (67%).\niPhone users are more likely than Android users to use their phones in the bathroom (88% vs. 82%, respectively).\n13% of iPhone users say they feel productive while using their phone in the bathroom, compared to 12% of Android users.\nAmericans spend around 4.5 days a year scrolling on Instagram and TikTok while on the toilet. (That's based on 18 minutes a day — 9 minutes per session, twice a day.)\nAnnual Bathroom Phone Use by Generation\nGen Z: 9 minutes per session → 54 hours per year\nMillennials: 7 minutes per session → 43 hours per year\nGen X: 6 minutes per session → 36 hours per year\nBaby boomers: 5 minutes per session → 30 hours per year\nTop 3 Most Popular Toilet Scrolling Apps by Generation\nBaby boomers:\nFacebook (31%)\nEmail (30%)\nYouTube (20%)\nGen X:\nFacebook (34%)\nEmail (31%)\nInstagram (24%)\nMillennials:\nInstagram (42%)\nYouTube (34%)\nFacebook (34%)\nGen Z:\nInstagram (51%)\nTikTok (45%)\nReddit (35%)\nAverage Time Spent on Popular Apps While Using the Toilet\nDating apps: 13 minutes\nPodcasts: 10 minutes\nInstagram: 9 minutes\nFacebook: 9 minutes\nYouTube: 9 minutes\nWhatsApp: 9 minutes\nTikTok: 9 minutes\nX: 9 minutes\nReddit: 8 minutes\nSlack or Teams: 8 minutes\nEmail: 7 minutes\nWork-Related Bathroom Interactions\nSent or replied to work emails: 18%\nReplied to a Slack or Teams message: 12%\nReviewed a document or presentation: 11%\nAttended a work call or meeting: 5%\nScheduled a work-related event: 5%\nConsequences of Bathroom Phone Use\nLost track of time: 39%\nExperienced numb legs: 28%\nCalled out by someone: 13%\nLate to something: 12%\nDropped phone in the toilet: 10%\nHealth-related issues (e.g., haemorrhoids): 3%\nMissed a work meeting: 2%\nThe Loo as a Personal Escape\n61% of people have stayed on the toilet longer just to finish something on their phone.\n72% of Gen Z say they've stayed longer in the bathroom to finish something on their phone, compared to 68% of millennials, 55% of Gen X, and just 38% of baby boomers.\nRoughly 12% of Americans report feeling anxious when they forget their phone on a bathroom trip, compared to just 7% of Brits.\nOnly 1 in 4 people clean their phones after using them in the bathroom.\nMore than 3 in 4 baby boomers (76%) don't clean their phones after using them in the bathroom — the highest rate of any generation. In comparison, 67% of Gen X, 66% of millennials, and 66% of Gen Z skip the post-toilet wipe-down.\nOver half of Gen Z (51%) say they use the bathroom just to take a break from others, even when they don't need to go. This trend is less common among millennials (44%) and Gen X (36%), and least common among baby boomers (14%).\nMethodology\nWe surveyed 500 Americans and 500 Britons to explore bathroom doomscrolling. Among Americans, the average age was 41; 50% were male, and 50% were women. Generationally, 9% were baby boomers, 31% were Gen X, 44% were millennials, and 17% were Gen Z. Among Britons, the average age was 44; 49% were male, and 50% were women, and 1% were non-binary. Generationally, 11% were baby boomers, 38% were Gen X, 38% were millennials, and 14% were Gen Z. Due to rounding, percentages may not total 100 exactly.\nAbout QS Supplies\nQS Supplies specialises in providing top-of-the-line bathroom products to customers across the UK.

Whether it's scrolling TikTok or squeezing in one last email, people across the UK and US are spending hours each year multitasking from the loo.\n\nQS Supplies surveyed 1,000 respondents to uncover how often people use their phones on the toilet and what they are doing while they are there. The findings reveal surprising patterns in generational habits, digital hygiene, and the blend of work and relaxation in one of the most unexpected rooms in the home.\n***\n## Key Findings\n- Americans spend about 2 full days (49 hours) a year scrolling on the toilet, while Britons spend approximately 1.5 days (36 hours).\n- Americans spend more than 4.5 days a year scrolling on Instagram and TikTok while on the toilet.\n- Gen Z leads all generations in toilet phone use, spending 54 hours per year scrolling while seated.\n- Over 6 in 10 people (61%) admit to staying on the toilet longer just to finish something on their phone.\n- 72% of Gen Z say they've extended their toilet time to keep scrolling.\n- Only 1 in 4 people clean their phones after using them in the bathroom.\n- 1 in 20 people (5%) admit to attending a work call or meeting while on the toilet.\n***\n## The Toilet: A Digital Time Sink\n![Infographic showing common phone habits in the bathroom and top apps used while on the toilet](https:\/\/files.qssupplies.co.uk\/gallery\/a1_popular_apps.jpg)\n\n- Americans spend more time than Brits scrolling while on the toilet — 49 hours compared to 36 hours per year.\n- Bathroom phone use is highest among Gen Z (92%) and millennials (92%), followed by Gen X (78%) and baby boomers (67%).\n- iPhone users are more likely than Android users to use their phones in the bathroom (88% vs. 82%, respectively).\n- 13% of iPhone users say they feel productive while using their phone in the bathroom, compared to 12% of Android users.\n- Americans spend around 4.5 days a year scrolling on Instagram and TikTok while on the toilet. (That's based on 18 minutes a day — 9 minutes per session, twice a day.)\n***\n## Annual Bathroom Phone Use by Generation\n- Gen Z: 9 minutes per session → 54 hours per year\n- Millennials: 7 minutes per session → 43 hours per year\n- Gen X: 6 minutes per session → 36 hours per year\n- Baby boomers: 5 minutes per session → 30 hours per year\n***\n## Top 3 Most Popular Toilet Scrolling Apps by Generation\n***\n### Baby boomers:\n- Facebook (31%)\n- Email (30%)\n- YouTube (20%)\n### Gen X:\n- Facebook (34%)\n- Email (31%)\n- Instagram (24%)\n### Millennials:\n- Instagram (42%)\n- YouTube (34%)\n- Facebook (34%)\n### Gen Z:\n- Instagram (51%)\n- TikTok (45%)\n- Reddit (35%)\n***\n## Average Time Spent on Popular Apps While Using the Toilet\n- Dating apps: 13 minutes\n- Podcasts: 10 minutes\n- Instagram: 9 minutes\n- Facebook: 9 minutes\n- YouTube: 9 minutes\n- WhatsApp: 9 minutes\n- TikTok: 9 minutes\n- X: 9 minutes\n- Reddit: 8 minutes\n- Slack or Teams: 8 minutes\n- Email: 7 minutes\n***\n## Work-Related Bathroom Interactions\n- Sent or replied to work emails: 18%\n- Replied to a Slack or Teams message: 12%\n- Reviewed a document or presentation: 11%\n- Attended a work call or meeting: 5%\n- Scheduled a work-related event: 5%\n***\n## Consequences of Bathroom Phone Use\n- Lost track of time: 39%\n- Experienced numb legs: 28%\n- Called out by someone: 13%\n- Late to something: 12%\n- Dropped phone in the toilet: 10%\n- Health-related issues (e.g., haemorrhoids): 3%\n- Missed a work meeting: 2%\n***\n## The Loo as a Personal Escape\n![Infographic highlighting why people use phones in the bathroom and who they're trying to avoid or take a break from](https:\/\/files.qssupplies.co.uk\/gallery\/a2_people_avoid.jpg)\n\n- 61% of people have stayed on the toilet longer just to finish something on their phone.\n- 72% of Gen Z say they've stayed longer in the bathroom to finish something on their phone, compared to 68% of millennials, 55% of Gen X, and just 38% of baby boomers.\n- Roughly 12% of Americans report feeling anxious when they forget their phone on a bathroom trip, compared to just 7% of Brits.\n- Only 1 in 4 people clean their phones after using them in the bathroom.\n- More than 3 in 4 baby boomers (76%) don't clean their phones after using them in the bathroom — the highest rate of any generation. In comparison, 67% of Gen X, 66% of millennials, and 66% of Gen Z skip the post-toilet wipe-down.\n- Over half of Gen Z (51%) say they use the bathroom just to take a break from others, even when they don't need to go. This trend is less common among millennials (44%) and Gen X (36%), and least common among baby boomers (14%).\n***\n## Methodology\nWe surveyed 500 Americans and 500 Britons to explore bathroom doomscrolling. Among Americans, the average age was 41; 50% were male, and 50% were women. Generationally, 9% were baby boomers, 31% were Gen X, 44% were millennials, and 17% were Gen Z. Among Britons, the average age was 44; 49% were male, and 50% were women, and 1% were non-binary. Generationally, 11% were baby boomers, 38% were Gen X, 38% were millennials, and 14% were Gen Z. Due to rounding, percentages may not total 100 exactly.\n***\n## About QS Supplies\nQS Supplies specialises in providing top-of-the-line bathroom products to customers across the UK.
