據《每日郵報》報導,應用程式「Hailo」調查2000名英國人使用手機的經驗,統計出智慧型手機的十大常用功能,

發現手機的「初衷」─通話功能竟排第六,反觀收發簡訊、收電子郵件、瀏覽網頁等功能使用者更常使用,

甚至連鬧鐘功能,都排在通話功能前面。

調查發現,英國人一天平均使用手機共1小時52分鐘,其中大部分是發簡訊、電子郵件和看網頁,

看臉書和照相的頻率也比通話頻繁,而社交應用程式、計算機、日曆、照相機也被視為重要功能。

應用程式中,Google Maps最受歡迎,有六分之一的使用者表示,

若沒有Google Maps就無法在陌生城市中旅行。

英國調查出的十大手機功能第一名是傳簡訊,依序為:

讀簡訊、讀電子郵件、瀏覽網頁、設定鬧鐘、打電話、發電子郵件、查看時間、日曆功能、瀏覽臉書。

Top ten uses for a mobile phone? Calls come SIXTH! 40% of smartphone users say they could manage without call function on their device 

 

  • Making a call is now the sixth most common use for a mobile phone 
  • Texts, emails and the alarm clock are more popular than calls, study shows
  • Four in 10 smartphone users say they could manage without call function
  • The average person uses their mobile for an hour and 52 minutes a day
  • Survey says around 20 minutes of this is spent making three phone calls

Making a call is now only the sixth most common use for a mobile phone, a study has found.

Sending and receiving text messages, reading emails, browsing the internet and using the phone’s alarm clock have all overtaken actual conversation.

In fact, almost four in ten smartphone users believe they would manage without a call function on their handset at all.

 

Sending and receiving texts has overtaken making a call as the most common use for a mobile phone, with actually talking to someone dropping to sixth (file picture)

The study, by taxi app Hailo, found the average person uses their mobile phone for an hour and 52 minutes a day.

Most of this time is taken up with texting, emails and surfing the web, but around 20 minutes will be spent making an average of three calls. 

The survey of 2,000 people found that social media apps, calculators, calendars and cameras were also seen as particularly important functions.

Navigation apps such as Google Maps were popular too – with one in six respondents admitting they would feel unable to travel around an unfamiliar city without one.

The study also found checking Facebook and taking pictures of others are carried out more frequently than making calls.

Also on the list were the calendar to remember appointments and birthdays, mobile banking and the news are applications that make day-to-day life a little easier.

Tom Barr, Hailo’s chief executive, said: ‘The functions on a smartphone have developed and improved drastically over the past decade.

‘With so many ways to keep in touch nowadays, people are using the functions that are convenient for them.

‘As we get less and less time to ourselves, we need more convenience in our lives and less hassle. While calling can be more personal, it doesn’t always save you time.’
