Some older people have somewhat similar smartphone behavior as teenagers. Those of us born in the ~80s/90s kinda grew up along with technology. A lot of older people adopted it when they were already adults, so they didn't slowly grow used to it the way we did. And younger people started using tech when it was already this super intransparent easy to use thing that it is now. So those groups behave somewhat similarly around it: mobile games, a lot of social media use, and, for some reason, also heavy emoji use. I guess it might be because it's new and cool to them and they never used :-) etc?
Mind you, this is far from universal. Just a bit of a pattern I'm noticing. Also, I don't really view you, a gen x person, as older, so idk.
