A psychological state characterized by constant preoccupation and anxiety about notifications on smartphones or other digital devices. A person starts to excessively monitor their phone in search of new notifications from various apps such as messages, email, or social media. This obsession can cause a state of constant anxiety as people feel like they can’t tear themselves away from the device or even rest without missing updates or replies from others. This obsession involves an increased need for immediate social contact and recognition, which can lead to mental fatigue or feeling overly pressured, especially when missing any notifications or responses online.
