Question 1

Is this phone addiction test a medical diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a self-assessment tool for educational purposes only. It is not a clinical diagnosis of addiction. If you feel your phone use is seriously impacting your mental health, work, or relationships, it is best to consult with a mental health professional.

Question 2

How can I find my screen time and unlock data?

Accepted Answer

Most modern smartphones provide this data. On iOS (iPhone): Go to Settings > Screen Time. On Android: Go to Settings > Digital Wellbeing & parental controls. Use the daily average from the past week for the most accurate input.

Question 3

What should I do if I get a high score?

Accepted Answer

A high score is an opportunity for reflection, not a reason for panic. Start with small, manageable changes. The goal is intentional usage, not total abstinence.
