“Nomophobia,” or “no-mobile-phone-phobia,” refers to the compulsive and time-intensive use of smartphones, coupled with anxiety when the device is unavailable. It encompasses symptoms such as a constant need for availability, a preference for mobile communication over face-to-face interaction, and financial challenges related to excessive mobile use.

Nomophobia is a portmanteau of “no mobile phone phobia” and describes the fear of being without a smartphone. The concept of nomophobia has been proposed and researched in several early works [1,2], and a subsequent paper [3] presented a validated quantitative scale to measure it, known as the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). The rapid proliferation of smartphones has made nomophobia a timely phenomenon to investigate.
By July 2022, more than two-thirds of the world’s population used mobile phones [4].

Nomophobia, a portmanteau of the words “no mobile phone” and “phobia,” represents a new emerging psychological construct describing the discomfort of being without mobile contact and the irrational fear and anxiety arising from the feeling of disconnection from virtual communication platforms [5,6].
Inspecting the construct from a broader aspect, various elements have been suggested to play an integral part of nomophobia.
