Why is there a growing trend among young people to keep Are their phones 'silent'?

Why-is-there-a-growing-trend-among-young-people-to-keep-Are-their-phones-silent? The days of listening to new ringtones on mobile phones are over. New research shows that people, especially young people, are losing interest in ringtones. According to the report, the rate of downloading ringtones has decreased by one-fourth in recent years.

                                                                                    

According to a report by Censor Tower, a mobile app analytics firm, the rate of downloading ringtone-related apps among mobile phone users in the UK has dropped by 20 percent in four years. What was 48 lakh in 2016, has become 36 lakh in 2020.

One of the major reasons for the decline in interest in ringtones is the growing trend among young people to keep their mobile phones in silent mode. In other words, if a ringtone is played somewhere in the vicinity, the mobile phone is more likely to be of relatively old age.

Some analysts have told the British newspaper The Telegraph about the possible reasons for this. They say young people now spend most of their time on mobile phones. In other words, their eyes are stuck on the screen of the mobile phone. When a call or SMS arrives, they are going to know immediately. There is no need to play the ringtone separately.

Another reason is that the use of wearable or wearable technology is increasing, it is more among women. The most popular of these gadgets is the smartwatch. It is associated with smartphones. Users who feel the vibration of the wrist or the vibration of the device when the notification comes, do not need the ringtone.

Another survey can be mentioned here. A 2016 survey by Ofcom, a UK government-approved regulator, found that the vast majority of 18- to 24-year-olds felt more comfortable exchanging messages than making phone calls. Ofcom reports that this generation was called 'Generation Mute'. Thirty-eight percent of these ages consider messaging to be the most important means of communication. And 15 percent said phone calls are more important.

Interest in phone calls has also declined among the 'millennial' generation. The oldest of this generation will turn 40 this year. According to a US survey, 70 percent of millennials are more comfortable with text messaging or online communication. According to Yahoo News, talking on the phone is the work of 'old people' for them.
