"Mobile phone usage is a global phenomenon, with billions of people worldwide using smartphones for communication, entertainment, and information. Average daily screen time varies across countries, with some nations spending over 5 hours per day on their devices."

In 2022, smartphone vendors sold around 1.39 billion smartphones were sold worldwide, with this number forecast to drop to 1.34 billion in 2023.

Smartphone penetration rate still on the rise

Less than half of the world’s total population owned a smart device in 2016, but the smartphone penetration rate has continued climbing, reaching 78.05 percent in 2020. By 2025, it is forecast that almost 87 percent of all mobile users in the United States will own a smartphone, an increase from the 27 percent of mobile users in 2010.

Smartphone end user sales

In the United States alone, sales of smartphones were projected to be worth around 73 billion U.S. dollars in 2021, an increase from 18 billion dollars in 2010. Global sales of smartphones are expected to increase from 2020 to 2021 in every major region, as the market starts to recover from the initial impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

How many people use social media?

              Social media usage is one of the most popular online activities. In 2024, over five billion people were using social media worldwide, a number projected to increase to over six billion in 2028.

              Who uses social media?
              Social networking is one of the most popular digital activities worldwide and it is no surprise that social networking penetration across all regions is constantly increasing. As of January 2023, the global social media usage rate stood at 59 percent. This figure is anticipated to grow as lesser developed digital markets catch up with other regions
              when it comes to infrastructure development and the availability of cheap mobile devices. In fact, most of social media’s global growth is driven by the increasing usage of mobile devices. Mobile-first market Eastern Asia topped the global ranking of mobile social networking penetration, followed by established digital powerhouses such as the Americas and Northern Europe.

              How much time do people spend on social media?
              Social media is an integral part of daily internet usage. On average, internet users spend 151 minutes per day on social media and messaging apps, an increase of 40 minutes since 2015. On average, internet users in Latin America had the highest average time spent per day on social media.

              What are the most popular social media platforms?
              Market leader Facebook was the first social network to surpass one billion registered accounts and currently boasts approximately 2.9 billion monthly active users, making it the most popular social network worldwide. In June 2023, the top social media apps in the Apple App Store included mobile messaging apps WhatsApp and Telegram Messenger, as well as the ever-popular app version of Facebook.

This dataset has been artificially generated to mimic real-world user interactions within a mobile application. It contains 100,000 rows of data, each row of which represents a single event or action performed by a synthetic user. The dataset was designed to capture many of the attributes commonly tracked by app analytics platforms, such as device details, network information, user demographics, session data, and event-level interactions.

Key Features Included

User & Session Metadata

User ID: A unique integer identifier for each synthetic user. Session ID: Randomly generated session identifiers (e.g., S-123456), capturing the concept of user sessions. IP Address: Fake IP addresses generated via Faker to simulate different network origins. Timestamp: Randomized timestamps (within the last 30 days) indicating when each interaction occurred. Session Duration: An approximate measure (in seconds) of how long a user remained active. Device & Technical Details

Device OS & OS Version: Simulated operating systems (Android/iOS) with plausible version numbers. Device Model: Common phone models (e.g., “Samsung Galaxy S22,” “iPhone 14 Pro,” etc.). Screen Resolution: Typical screen resolutions found in smartphones (e.g., “1080x1920”). Network Type: Indicates whether the user was on Wi-Fi, 5G, 4G, or 3G. Location & Locale

Location Country & City: Random global locations generated using Faker. App Language: Represents the user’s app language setting (e.g., “en,” “es,” “fr,” etc.). User Properties

Battery Level: The phone’s battery level as a percentage (0–100). Memory Usage (MB): Approximate memory consumption at the time of the event. Subscription Status: Boolean flag indicating if the user is subscribed to a premium service. User Age: Random integer ranging from teenagers to seniors (13–80). Phone Number: Fake phone numbers generated via Faker. Push Enabled: Boolean flag indicating if the user has push notifications turned on. Event-Level Interactions

Event Type: The action taken by the user (e.g., “click,” “view,” “scroll,” “like,” “share,” etc.). Event Target: The UI element or screen component interacted with (e.g., “home_page_banner,” “search_bar,” “notification_popup”). Event Value: A numeric field indicating additional context for the event (e.g., intensity, count, rating). App Version: Simulated version identifier for the mobile application (e.g., “4.2.8”). Data Quality & “Noise” To better approximate real-world data, 1% of all fields have been intentionally “corrupted” or altered:

Typos and Misspellings: Random single-character edits, e.g., “Andro1d” instead of “Android.” Missing Values: Some cells might be blank (None) to reflect dropped or unrecorded data. Random String Injections: Occasional random alphanumeric strings inserted where they don’t belong. These intentional discrepancies can help data scientists practice data cleaning, outlier detection, and data wrangling techniques.

Usage & Applications

Data Cleaning & Preprocessing: Ideal for practicing how to handle missing values, inconsistent data, and noise in a realistic scenario. Analytics & Visualization: Demonstrate user interaction funnels, session durations, usage by device/OS, etc. Machine Learning & Modeling: Suitable for building classification or clustering models (e.g., user segmentation, event classification). Simulation for Feature Engineering: Experiment with deriving new features (e.g., session frequency, average battery drain, etc.).

Important Notes & Disclaimer

Synthetic Data: All entries (users, device info, IPs, phone numbers, etc.) are artificially generated and do not correspond to real individuals. Privacy & Compliance: Since no real personal data is present, there are no direct privacy concerns. However, always handle synthetic data ethically.

Abstract

To facilitate the use of data collected through the high-frequency phone surveys on COVID-19, the Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) team has created the harmonized datafiles using two household surveys: 1) the country’ latest face-to-face survey which has become the sample frame for the phone survey, and 2) the country’s high-frequency phone survey on COVID-19.

The LSMS team has extracted and harmonized variables from these surveys, based on the harmonized definitions and ensuring the same variable names. These variables include demography as well as housing, household consumption expenditure, food security, and agriculture. Inevitably, many of the original variables are collected using questions that are asked differently. The harmonized datafiles include the best available variables with harmonized definitions.

Two harmonized datafiles are prepared for each survey. The two datafiles are: 1. HH: This datafile contains household-level variables. The information include basic household characterizes, housing, water and sanitation, asset ownership, consumption expenditure, consumption quintile, food security, livestock ownership. It also contains information on agricultural activities such as crop cultivation, use of organic and inorganic fertilizer, hired labor, use of tractor and crop sales. 2. IND: This datafile contains individual-level variables. It includes basic characteristics of individuals such as age, sex, marital status, disability status, literacy, education and work.

Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey (ESS) 2018-2019 and Ethiopia COVID-19 High Frequency Phone Survey of Households (HFPS) 2020 data were harmonized following the harmonization guidelines (see “Harmonized Datafiles and Variables for High-Frequency Phone Surveys on COVID-19” for more details).

The high-frequency phone survey on COVID-19 has multiple rounds of data collection. When variables are extracted from multiple rounds of the survey, the originating round of the survey is noted with “_rX” in the variable name, where X represents the number of the round. For example, a variable with “_r3” presents that the variable was extracted from Round 3 of the high-frequency phone survey. Round 0 refers to the country’s latest face-to-face survey which has become the sample frame for the high-frequency phone surveys on COVID-19. When the variables are without “_rX”, they were extracted from Round 0.

SourceInternational Telecommunication Union, World Telecommunication/ICT Development Report and database, and World Bank estimates. License Open Aggregation Method: Weighted average Development Relevance: The digital and information revolution has changed the way the world learns, communicates, does business, and treats illnesses. New information and communications technologies (ICT) offer vast opportunities for progress in all walks of life in all countries - opportunities for economic growth, improved health, better service delivery, learning through distance education, and social and cultural advances. Today's smartphones and tablets have computer power equivalent to that of yesterday's computers and provide a similar range of functions. Device convergence is thus rendering the conventional definition obsolete. Comparable statistics on access, use, quality, and affordability of ICT are needed to formulate growth-enabling policies for the sector and to monitor and evaluate the sector's impact on development. Although basic access data are available for many countries, in most developing countries little is known about who uses ICT; what they are used for (school, work, business, research, government); and how they affect people and businesses. The global Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development is helping to set standards, harmonize information and communications technology statistics, and build statistical capacity in developing countries. However, despite significant improvements in the developing world, the gap between the ICT haves and have-nots remains. General Comments: Please cite the International Telecommunication Union for third-party use of these data. Limitations and Exceptions: Operators have traditionally been the main source of telecommunications data, so information on subscriptions has been widely available for most countries. This gives a general idea of access, but a more precise measure is the penetration rate - the share of households with access to telecommunications. During the past few years more information on information and communication technology use has become available from household and business surveys. Also important are data on actual use of telecommunications services. Ideally, statistics on telecommunications (and other information and communications technologies) should be compiled for all three measures: subscriptions, access, and use. The quality of data varies among reporting countries as a result of differences in regulations covering data provision and availability. Discrepancies may also arise in cases where the end of a fiscal year differs from that used by ITU, which is the end of December of every year. A number of countries have fiscal years that end in March or June of every year. Periodicity: Annual Statistical Concept and Methodology: The Internet is a world-wide public computer network. It provides access to a number of communication services including the World Wide Web and carries email, news, entertainment and data files, irrespective of the device used (not assumed to be only via a computer - it may also be by mobile phone, PDA, games machine, digital TV etc.). Access can be via a fixed or mobile network.

Sampling procedure

In most developing economies, Global Findex data have traditionally been collected through face-to-face interviews. Surveys are conducted face-to-face in economies where telephone coverage represents less than 80 percent of the population or where in-person surveying is the customary methodology. However, because of ongoing COVID-19 related mobility restrictions, face-to-face interviewing was not possible in some of these economies in 2021. Phone-based surveys were therefore conducted in 67 economies that had been surveyed face-to-face in 2017. These 67 economies were selected for inclusion based on population size, phone penetration rate, COVID-19 infection rates, and the feasibility of executing phone-based methods where Gallup would otherwise conduct face-to-face data collection, while complying with all government-issued guidance throughout the interviewing process. Gallup takes both mobile phone and landline ownership into consideration. According to Gallup World Poll 2019 data, when face-to-face surveys were last carried out in these economies, at least 80 percent of adults in almost all of them reported mobile phone ownership. All samples are probability-based and nationally representative of the resident adult population. Phone surveys were not a viable option in 17 economies that had been part of previous Global Findex surveys, however, because of low mobile phone ownership and surveying restrictions. Data for these economies will be collected in 2022 and released in 2023.

In economies where face-to-face surveys are conducted, the first stage of sampling is the identification of primary sampling units. These units are stratified by population size, geography, or both, and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size; otherwise, simple random sampling is used. Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day and, where possible, on different days. If an interview cannot be obtained at the initial sampled household, a simple substitution method is used. Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households. Each eligible household member is listed, and the hand-held survey device randomly selects the household member to be interviewed. For paper surveys, the Kish grid method is used to select the respondent. In economies where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected from among all eligible adults of the interviewer's gender.

In traditionally phone-based economies, respondent selection follows the same procedure as in previous years, using random digit dialing or a nationally representative list of phone numbers. In most economies where mobile phone and landline penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used.

The same respondent selection procedure is applied to the new phone-based economies. Dual frame (landline and mobile phone) random digital dialing is used where landline presence and use are 20 percent or higher based on historical Gallup estimates. Mobile phone random digital dialing is used in economies with limited to no landline presence (less than 20 percent).

For landline respondents in economies where mobile phone or landline penetration is 80 percent or higher, random selection of respondents is achieved by using either the latest birthday or household enumeration method. For mobile phone respondents in these economies or in economies where mobile phone or landline penetration is less than 80 percent, no further selection is performed. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day.
