Summary
The mobile phone is extensively used device around the World since it has several advantages. Some of them are having internet access, social media interactions, searching information, writing text messages, doing tasks, listening to music, taking or looking photos or videos, playing games, reading books or journals, using navigation, and sharing multimedia files (i.e., videos, photos). Due to those advantages, a higher number of individuals are using a mobile phone (Liu et al, 2018). Researchers have shown efforts to diagnose mobile phone addiction at the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V, 2013). They have mentioned that mobile phone addiction shares diagnostic features of addiction and impulse control disorders (Griffiths, 2000)
