The study included 8324 children (53% boys; mean age: 9.9 years). On average, children spent 2.3 hours/day watching television/videos, 1.4 hours/day on social media, and 1.5 hours/day playing video games. Average social media use was associated with increased inattention symptoms over time (β [SE], 0.03 [0.01]; P<0.001), with a cumulative four-year effect of β=0.15 [SE]=0.03; P<0.001). No associations were found between playing video games or watching television/videos and ADHD-related symptoms. The association between social media use and inattention symptoms was not moderated by sex, ADHD diagnosis, PGS-ADHD, or ADHD medication status. Inattention symptoms were not associated with increased social media use over time.

It’s insignificant at best, but more likely its just conflating phone usage in general with social media specifically.
