Illegal use of a smartphone while driving
The updated legislation means you can now be prosecuted for the following smartphone actions while behind the wheel of a car.
* Making a phone call
* Sending a text message (including WhatsApp messaging and emails)
* Browsing the internet (including social media)
* Taking photos
* Filming
* Scrolling through a playlist
It's also a criminal offence to use a mobile phone while driving without being connected to a hands-free device.

The uk.gov page makes it even clearer:

It’s illegal to hold a phone or sat nav while driving or riding a motorcycle. You must have hands-free access
