My students very often use the expression "I am on my phone", which I consider as being wrong. Am I right? Actually, in recent years people, and especially young people, have started using the expression in French je suis toute le temps sur mon téléphone t to express the idea that they use their phone all day long. In French, this is rather informal.

1. Can we say "I am on my phone" or does it only mean someone literally sits on his/her phone? 2)Is there a way of saying it differently than "I am using my phone all day long"? Thanks a lot for your answer. Kind regards

My students very often use the expression "I am on my phone" because we say in French je suis sur mon téléphone and that means I am using my phone. This is rather informal by the way. Is there a way of saying it differently than "I am using my phone all day long"? Thanks a lot for your answer. Kind regards
