In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the use of digital devices and applications along with technological developments in our country and around the world. Considering that a generation that was born into the developing technology stayed at home due to the COVID-19 epidemic, received online education, was exposed to meetings, and has a good command of the use of technology, there was a need to examine the relationship between online application use and addiction. This research aims to determine the effect of online applications on digital addiction. The paradigm group of this research is 328 volunteer prep students of a public university. 100% of the participants use smartphones to access online apps.
