A \u003ca title=\"new report\" href=\"http://www.mobilemarketer.com/cms/news/research/17535.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003enew report\u003c/a\u003e by Univision and the Interactive Advertising Bureau, took an in-depth look at the mobile habits of Hispanic millennials, revealing that these tech-savvy, young adults not only embrace the mobile future, but may shape what the mobile future will look like.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurvey respondents owned an average of five different mobile devices—owning their first smartphone was often viewed as a major life moment.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis group doesn’t make a distinction between being online and offline. Going offline is viewed as a time when they want to hide or make themselves unavailable to others, says the report.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike all millennials, SMS is a key part of their mobile device interactions, while email is viewed as more formal communication.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial media is also a major part of mobile use, with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter cited as the three most used platforms respectively.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s not surprising that members of the first, mobile-first generation over-index on mobile usage. According to the report, there are 17 million Hispanic millennials in the United States today between the ages of 18-30 years old, and 76 percent of U.S. Hispanic adults, with a mobile device, own a smartphone, compared to 67 percent of the overall population. What’s particularly interesting though is how millennials, especially Hispanic millennials, view mobile as an integral part of daily life. For example, old devices serve as mementos where photographs and memories are stored.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgencies are creating mobile products for Spanish audiences. \u003ca href=\"https://www.usa.gov/espanol/\"\u003eUSAGov en Español\u003c/a\u003e (\u003cem\u003eformerly known as GobiernoUSA.gov\u003c/em\u003e) has a the Spanish version of the USA.gov Apps Gallery, \u003ca href=\"http://apps.gobiernousa.gov/\"\u003eApplicaciones móviles\u003c/a\u003e, that features Spanish mobile products agencies have implemented. In addition, agencies can get lessons learned on mobile implementation from the \u003ca title=\"Government Multilingual Community of Practice\" href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/communities/multilingual/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGovernment Multilingual Community of Practice\u003c/a\u003e. The best practices and resources developed by the group can help digital gov innovators create successful multilingual and culturally adopted mobile approaches.\u003c/p\u003e\n"}
