The video begins with a man holding a smartphone while three monkeys curiously scroll through it. Glued to the screen, three monkeys can be seen looking at it intently like humans look at their phones. One of them was holding the phone and was interestingly rotating the screen. Meanwhile, another younger monkey is pulling to get the older monkey’s attention and distract him from the gadget.

The video, shared on January 19, has garnered over 19,000 views, and over 400 likes, and the numbers are only increasing. Users filled the comments section with laughing emojis and hilarious responses about how even monkeys are getting addicted to smartphones and social media.

One user wrote, “An inquisitive mind and an inquisitive soul… learning experience even for primates.” Far-reaching consequences of knowledge and understanding!” Another commented, “Wonderful. Proving that humans and monkeys are both primates.” A third said, “Funny.. but there seems to be a clear intent and interest from our closest relatives.”
