Ofcom’s Mobile Matters report analyses how around 200,000 people used their Android mobile phone between 1 January and 30 April 2020, highlighting how people’s use of mobile phones changed during lockdown.

The research reveals the average length of mobile calls in April 2020 was five minutes 26 seconds, up from three minutes 40 seconds before the coronavirus restrictions came in.

The research also highlights changes in where people used their mobile phones. With many people working from home, the city centres of all four of the UK’s capitals saw a drop in mobile activity, while activity increased in areas such as parks and open spaces.
