Mobile is now the dominant platform for media consumption with users spending over 4 hours a day on their mobile devices compared with 3 hours on PCs and TVs. That’s according to the latest ’A New Era of Engagement in Media & Entertainment report from mobile experts Newzoo which surveyed over 2,500 consumers in the US to find out how the different generations engage with media and entertainment. 

In engagement, social reigns supreme

We are social beings and the report backs this up. A whopping 96% of respondents said they spent 13 hours a week engaging with social media and video-sharing apps such as Instagram and TikTok.

But entertainment is just as important with 94% saying they spent almost 14 hours in broadcast TV and subscription services while 87% use podcasts and music apps for 11 hours per week. Video gaming apps attract 84% of users at almost 12 hours a week. The findings point to a growing trend of our active engagement with entertainment as we’re reading, playing and creating more digital content than ever before.

Is your privacy opt-in rate costing you $525,000 a year?

The gap between a 65% and 90%+ privacy opt-in rate can mean $525,000 in lost revenue annually for a 100K DAU app — and most teams have no idea where they stand.

This guide breaks down the true cost of consent debt, why the average app sits at just 80% opt-in, and the exact tactics top performers use to consistently hit 90%+: prompt timing, banner design, vendor list optimization, and more.

It’s all about mobile

Most engagement (60%) takes place on mobile devices. Social is a category driver with 73% of engagement time happening on mobile apps versus other devices. Only for broadcast TV, respondents tend to favour TV over mobile (46%).

The study also noted that video gaming apps command some of the most active engagement hours (72%) followed by books and comics (62%) and sports and fitness apps (60%).

But consuming content is just one side of the content. Users are becoming more involved with their apps and want to share their own content with others. That’s particularly true for younger generations. Here, 69% of Gen Z spend almost 7 hours a week creating digital content versus 46% of Gen X who spend 6 hours per week uploading photos or creating videos.
