app usage
Digital interaction metrics
App usage refers to how much and how often someone interacts with applications on their devices—typically smartphones or tablets.
It encompasses time spent, frequency of opening, and patterns of engagement: My screen time report shows my social media app usage is out of control.
The term appears in discussions of digital wellness, parental controls, and software analytics, where developers track app usage to understand user behavior and improve their products.
