Yahoo News More than half of Brits use their mobile phone on the loo
Nearly six in ten Brits admit to using their phone on the toilet, new research has revealed – with youngsters far more likely to do it than older generations.
A new YouGov Realtime survey revealed that 57% of Brits admit to using their phone on the loo, with 8% saying they “always” do it and another 14% saying it’s something they do “most times”.
The habit is even more common with younger Britons, the research showed, with 61% of 18-29-year-old men saying they use their phone every time or ‘most times’ that they go to the loo, along with 44% of women of the same age.
Overall, 86% of men and 84% of women under 30 say they do it to some extent, the data showed.
In contrast, figures drop as people get older, with just 33% of men aged over 60 and 22% of women the same age saying they ever use their phone while sitting on the loo.
