We're obsessed with our phones, a new study has found. A research firm recruited 94 Android device users and installed special software on their smartphones. The tool tracked each user's "interaction" over five days, all day. "And by every interaction, we mean every tap, type, swipe and click. We're calling them touches," the researchers explained.

The heaviest smartphone users click, tap, or swipe on their phone 5,427 times a day, according to researchers. That's the top 10 percent of phone users, so one would expect it to be excessive. However, the rest of us still touch the addictive things 2,617 times a day on average. Averaging out the numbers, the aforementioned figures mean the heaviest users are touching their devices a couple of million times in one year.
