One of the most important seasons for Muslims, Ramadan, is around the corner. During this time, observers spend the month focusing on prayer, reflection, and community. Even though it becomes very difficult to share this joyful time with our loved ones during these pandemic days, it’s helpful to see what type of role mobile devices have in this preparation.
To get better insights and understand users’ mobile behaviors, AdColony surveyed people in Turkey about mobile usage during the Ramadan season. The Ramadan Survey was distributed to get more insights into people’s daily preferences during this time. Respondents’ ages ranged from 16 to 75 and were typically aged 25 to 44.
