Smart phone addiction, which is seen with the introduction of smart phones in our lives, has become remarkable in daily life. In the digital age we live, almost every process is handled by smart mobile phones. This makes mobile technologies an indispensable part of our day.

This work is designed to give information about nomophobia, a new concept known as fear of lack of mobile telephony.

As a result of the study, the widespread use of smart phones made it easier for individuals to make their daily lives easier but on the other hand they caused many social and psychological problems.
