Are those average?

This means there are even kids out there with probably double the amount

I just use GPT to summarize the article for me. Here's the results:

The article reports on a new study by Common Sense Media and the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital tracked the screen time and notifications of 203 Android users aged 11 to 17 for nine days.
The study found that the average teen used their phone for over four hours per day, with some reaching 16 hours per day. The most popular app was TikTok, which accounted for almost two hours of daily phone use. The study suggests that teens prefer TikTok because it is video-based and requires less reading or typing.
The study also found that more than half of the participants received more than 200 notifications in one day, with some getting up to 5,000 notifications. The notifications were mostly from friends on social media. Additionally, 59% of the participants had phone activity between midnight and 5 a.m., which could affect their sleep quality.
The article concludes by mentioning that parents are concerned about the impact of phone use on their children's schoolwork and sleep, and that TikTok said it sets a screen time limit and disables push notifications at night for teen accounts.

We need a bot for that. The Bing Assistant is just so useful in certain cases.
