In 2018, while tablets accounted for only 8.7 percent of visit, 71.6 percent of traffic was from smartphones. That is an 8 percent decrease in tablets users while the number of smartphone visitors rises by 8% and desktop viewers reduced by 18 percent.

The data also shows that Android users are having a slightly higher interest on Pornhub compared to the iOS counterparts. More than 54.4 percent of visitors used Android devices to access Pornhub, while 44.4 percent of viewed went to Pornhub with their iPhone or iPad devices. That is a 2% decline in iOS viewers and 2% increase in those visiting from Android-powered devices.

However, since owners of Android device have different favorite mobile browsers, Apple’s Safari was just barely behind Chrome to be the second most used mobile browser on Pornhub by 40.1 percent to 41.1 percent. For Safari, that is a 2 percent lower than last year while Chrome user numbers increase by 1 percent.

The increase in traffic on Pornhub was a result of several events while some other events led to a massive decline in the visitor numbers. Interestingly, the event that caused the highest drop in the iOS visitors to the site was the Apple Live Event in which they released the latest iPhone devices including iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max, leading to an 11 percent drop in iOS viewer numbers.

Pornhub also gathered data showing which Android versions its users used the most, and the result came out pretty interesting. While the Android Oreo and Nougat topped the chart with 41.28 and 24.66 percent, respectively, the latest Android Pie only occupied 2.78 percent which is even lower than the 5-year-old Android KitKat.
