digital interaction

Screen-based communication exchange

Digital interaction is communication or engagement that occurs through electronic devices and networks rather than face-to-face.

This includes texting, video calls, social media exchanges, and online gaming.

The term often appears in discussions contrasting screen-mediated contact with in-person connection: Kids today have more digital interaction than real conversation.

It also covers how users engage with software, websites, and apps.
