There is a big diference between 15 minutes of social media a day and 4 hours of social media a day.

The average daily use in Canada is 2 hours, with variations on how often people are actually being pinged or checking social media.

The more it's used, the higher the anxiety, stress, sleep quality, and happiness are affected, but these negative effects are felt for the majority of social media users, regardless of use time.

I'd also argue that FOMO contributes to just as much harm to mental health as active use of those platforms.
