Are you addicted to social media? Take this quiz

The high-profile social media trial underway in downtown Los Angeles is putting some of the biggest tech companies under a microscope, including Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. At its core, the case raises serious questions about platform design, the impact on young users and whether companies fully understood the mental health risks tied to engagement.

I am covering this trial closely, and each day in court reveals new testimony about engagement tactics, internal research and the race for attention. Meanwhile, as lawyers argue responsibility inside the courtroom, a more personal issue is playing out beyond it.

So what does this mean for you? How much power does social media actually have over your daily life? More importantly, how often do you reach for your phone without thinking, and how difficult is it to stop once you start scrolling?

If you have ever opened an app for a quick check and resurfaced nearly an hour later, this social media addiction quiz can help you assess your habits. Now, let’s take an honest look at where you stand.
