Cell phones, as well as the applications used in them, have changed the forms of communication processes between their users, inclusive, in classroom is common. Among the phenomena associated with the mobile device-applications binomial is phubbing, which is defined as the action of belittling or ignoring a person physically by paying more attention to the mobile phone. This research was developed at a public university in southern of Mexico. The principal objective was to find the relationship between phubbing and the use of mobile device apps when students are in the classroom. The study had a quantitative, descriptive and correlational approach. An instrument of our own elaboration was applied, which measured of two variables; in the one hand, Prevalence of phubbing and on the other hand, the use of apps. The questionnaire was applied in between 2019 and 2021, to 643 students, (F: 471, M: 172). It was identified that the prevalence of phubbing and the approach have a direct positive relationship. This means that, the closer the applications, the more phubbing is done in classes. The findings suggest that a significative percentage of students would like to avoid being phubbers by discovering it as a social phenomenon that affects their academic and social context in person.
