    The study assessed one eating-related symptom and three weight-related symptoms, not clinical eating disorder diagnoses. Smartphone owners were roughly 10% heavier on average, making general weight dissatisfaction a relevant alternative explanation. Since phone activities and content were not assessed, attributing the findings to beauty ideals remains speculative. A possible pathway through reduced physical activity, higher body weight, and weight dissatisfaction deserves dedicated investigation.
