Since generation-Z Internet users were born into the era of smartphones, they’re more likely to be on their mobile devices than their computers compared to other generations, Gen-Zers are almost entirely dependent on their mobile devices for most daily tasks. From paying bills to banking to managing home security, such simple activities are now conducted almost exclusively from the convenience of Gen-Zers’ mobile devices. Since Gen-Zers prefer to operate on their mobile devices rather than on other technological mediums, brands have had to adapt the way that they engage with this generation.

Take a glance at the generation-Z Internet users’ online behaviors by devices in a typical month, 2019:
