Smartphones have become an important component of many people's lives and, for some, also a fundamental component. There are also those who believe that a limit should be placed on the use of mobile phones, which can also cause various social disturbances, if abused.
In this list we see 12 signs to find out if you are addicted to the mobile phone and its negative aspects, which people who recognize themselves in these cases should worry about.
1) People with a cell phone addiction panic when they think they've lost it .
They will search in every possible place and will not stop until they find it.
At the same time, if they leave the phone at home, they feel as if they have forgotten their son, letting some nervousness leak.
They can't wait to go home to retrieve their cell phone and check notifications.
2) You are terrified that you run out of battery and always look for a socket, even around, where to attach the charger.
3) After how long you check your phone after waking up "> ideal apps for spending time on the toilet.
5) There are people who use a raincoat to protect their mobile phone from water and also take it in the shower or in the bathtub, where they continue to chat and text.
6) Check the phone frequently for new notifications and be disappointed if they are not found.
This is a clear sign that indicates addiction to the phone to stay in constant interaction with the phone, regardless of what it does in real life.

Cyclists and runners when they run or ride a bicycle, they always have a hand busy holding their cell phone which calculates how many kilometers they do and how many calories they consume.

To measure how dependent a person is on the smartphone there is also an Android application called Phone Usage that keeps an eye on how much time you spend using applications on your mobile phone, how often you unlock your phone and how much time you spend making phone calls.
The app then calculates an "addiction score" on the basis of these parameters and sends the user a reminder suggesting to slow down when the use becomes too frequent.
Alternatively, Quality Time, also for Android, checks smartphone addiction.
