Well there's also school, work, messaging friends/family to coordinate events or daily errands/child caretaking/etc or just simply keeping in touch/chatting, reading for news/pleasure, tracking emergency events like inclement weather or other disasters, etc. etc. So there's plenty of screen time still even when you subtract social media usage, at least for many older kids/young adults, and/or adults.
