The increasing popularity and accessibility of the Internet and smartphones have prompted studies examining the potential adverse effects of excessive use. The researcher is investigating problematic smartphone use and dependence (PSUD) and its implications for individuals' wellbeing. PSUD, also known as Internet addiction or smartphone addiction, refers to the compulsive use of smartphones and the Internet, negatively impacting an individual's life. Considering smartphones' modern and advanced nature, they serve as versatile devices encompassing various internet uses, making them the most common technological devices used to access the internet. Therefore, when researchers address technology or internet use-related issues, they often focus on smartphones and examine PSUD, which can also cover other technology-related problems. This interchangeability of terminologies allows researchers to study a broad spectrum of technology use issues through smartphone analysis. Research has shown that PSUD can lead to various negative consequences, including psychological, behavioural, and social problems. These issues encompass anxiety, depression, poor sleep quality, academic and occupational challenges, relationship difficulties, and impaired social and emotional functioning. The factors contributing to PSUD's development are complicated and involve personal, environmental, technological, and socio-demographic elements. Individual factors may include mental health problems, poor coping skills, low self-esteem, and a lack of social support. Environmental factors may involve a lack of parental supervision, peer pressure, and cultural norms encouraging excessive internet and smartphone use. Technological aspects may encompass app and website designs that promote addictive behaviours. Socio-demographic factors, such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status, can also influence smartphone use patterns and contribute to PSUD. The effects of PSUD are both psychological and behavioura

Problematic smartphone use has emerged as a growing concern in modern society. However, research in this field is still in its early stages and faces several controversies and limitations. A significant challenge lies in the need for a standardised definition of smartphone dependence and addiction, making it difficult to compare results across studies and generalise findings to the larger population. To address this issue, I advocate using the umbrella term Problematic Smartphone Use and Dependence (PSUD) to encompass all conditions related to excessive and problematic use, addiction, and smartphone dependence. An ongoing debate centres on whether addiction and dependence models are appropriate for understanding PSUD, leading researchers to explore different approaches to this complex phenomenon. Some studies have relied on self-reported methods, while others have used objective criteria, such as tracking the time spent on specific apps. The causal relationship between smartphone use and adverse outcomes, such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances, is still inadequately understood. Some recent investigations have observed strong correlations, while others have found weak or inconsistent associations. Not all high smartphone use is problematic. Practical reasons, such as the requirements of particular roles or daily responsibilities, may drive high levels of smartphone use. High use levels appear to increase as more smartphone apps become available, and adoption is now widespread. Differentiating high use (for legitimate reasons) from problematic use (e.g. uncontrolled or unnecessary use) requires new terminologies and tools. In the past, use of smartphones for practical reasons has been referred to as ‘productive use’ (or similar), generally referring to use for work purposes. However, today practical or productive use may extend beyond just work purposes, including parenting, social organisation and even legitimate forms of entertainment. To encapsulate th
