It's a growing trend. Despite the ever-growing number of distractions tempting them, internet users are actually spending less and less time online, according to a new study. Here's what we know.

Most of us don't notice how much time we're spending online as we surf from one site to another, checking out social media feeds, news, videos and games. Between the endless amount of content, the multitude of different social networks and the success of streaming, internet users have a lot to keep them busy. Yet, according to the latest "Digital 2023 April Global Statshot Report," published in partnership with We Are Social and Meltwater, which analyzes the latest digital trends for April 2023, we are spending less and less time online.
