understanding phone habits and addiction

I’m trying to understand phone habits.

When you open apps like instagram, linkedIn or whatsApp or any addictive app, do you usually know why you opened them, or is it natural?

Is it boredom, entertainment, connection, checking someone, avoiding something, feeling low, feeling behind, or just muscle memory?

Also, would a 5 second pause before opening the app help you make a more conscious choice, or would it annoy you?

Not promoting anything, Just trying to understand whether the real problem is screen time itself, or unconscious app opening
