The study from Intel and Lineage Labs found that millennials take an average of at least six selfies every day, metro.co.uk reported.

Researchers interviewed 1,000 Americans over the age of 18 about their photo-taking habits.

Around 50 percent of the respondents admitted clicking at least one selfie every day. The rest took a selfie a week, or a selfie every other day.

And those who counted themselves as regular users of their phone took at least six selfies a day.

On an average 18-24 year old's phone, 16 percent of photos are selfies, the study found. (IANS)
