What do you think is the right age to get a smartphone? Do you have one? Do you want one?

Well - phones, socials and screentime are subjects that can cause arguments in lots of families, even in the Royal Family.

Speaking to a podcast this month, Prince William explained that he and Princess Kate are not allowing their children to have phones yet.

The Prince of Wales admitted that not allowing 12-year-old Prince George a smartphone has become a bit of a "tense issue" in their home.

So what is the right age? And how do you decide? Take part in our vote and have your say in the comments below.

According to Ofcom, who monitor the media in the UK, nine in 10 children own a mobile phone by the time they reach the age of 11.

Prince William says his main problem with mobile phones is the internet access, and thinks that having a phone that can only ring and text is "fine".

Phones that can't connect to the internet and social media are often called brick phones or dumb phones.

So tell us what you think Would you be happy with a brick phone or is 12 old enough to get a smartphone?
