The 10 Most Used Apps On My Phone

A glimpse at my iPhone home screen!

Smartphones nowadays have the ability to track what apps you use the most and how much time you spend daily on each. While this can be kind of useful, it's actually more frightening. Nothing is worse than wasting your time on social media or a game than being confronted about it or judged by your smart device. I took a look at this feature in my settings to see what I spent most of my time on, and I was honestly surprised. Some apps I thought I used a lot weren't really shown until the bottom of the list, and others make it seem like I am on them constantly. I made a list of the top 10 most used apps based on my phone's data and my own personal preference below, though it's not necessarily in this order exactly! (Surprise, surprise, the Starbucks app is a close #11!)

Messages

Of course, texting is a main form of communication these days, so this is a no brainer. Catch me texting my roommates, my boyfriend, my friends, or my mom at any given moment.

Twitter

This is one of my favorite apps to scroll through when I have nothing better to do. This honestly isn't that surprising that it is so high up on the list because I really am on it a lot! Twitter is where I get most of my news, memes, and TV spoilers.

Instagram

I love to show off my friends and treasured moments captured in photos, but even more I like to admire other people's posts. My favorite thing is to watch DIY or progress videos on the Discover page! I can get lost on there for hours.

Snapchat

Snapchat is another easy way to stay in contact with my loved ones and close friends!

Outlook

While not many people are very attentive to their email, I check mine every day, usually several times. Don't want to miss anything important!

YouTube

In the last few years I have really gotten into watching vlogs and other content that people post. Some of my favorites are David Dobrik, Shane Dawson, and LaurDIY. I also use YouTube to listen to music, audiobooks, or watch celebrity interviews, like this one.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

This is literally Pokémon Go but for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Need I say more?

Music

Usually I am listening to music no matter what else I am actually focusing on. In the car, at work, at the gym, even writing this article.

Photos / Camera

While they are separate apps, I'll combine them into one for this purpose: I take a lot of photos, and I like to look back through them!

Notes

This app is a lifesaver. I keep important notes like passwords ( yikes, but it's password protected😉), grocery lists, and other random information in my phone so that I always have it with me. One specific note has random stuff dating back to when I first got an iPhone in 2012...wow!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
