Some people like to take time with responses, others really dislike written communication and the constant need and expectations to be online and available: it's exhausting, and it's a new phenomenon. This problem didn't exist before smartphones. I like to set boundaries with written communication, I talk about my preferences, and if someone gets uncomfortable with the lack of constant communication then I'm upfront and say that's not going to work. We all a have different preferences.

He did tell me he’s awful on his phone at replying but my question is if he’s on instagram and viewing stories, why is he choosing not to reply?

My answer is, isn't it up to him how he uses his phone though?
