My boyfriend says he’s a bad texter but he’s still always on his phone. Is this a red flag?

My boyfriend is always on his phone when I’m with him, scrolling Instagram etc. Like he’s literally on his phone all the time. However, he’s usually a bad texter when I’m not with him during the week. He’ll respond like 1-2 days later or 12 hours. I often don’t see him on the weekends, because he’s often busy, but he checks in like 2-3 times to update. He says just he’s an introvert, which is totally okay, but it just gets frustrating. Like sometimes I’ll text him at 4 when we’re apart then don’t hear from him rest of the day. Or making plans will be inconsistent with him. He's generally okay when we get together, just sometimes distant (doesn’t have much time). I want to love him better, but how do I get him to be more responsive? I just feel kind of weird & alone. Or, rather, how do I just learn to become okay with this like he is? Thanks. by the way, I always see him on “active” status on socials when I’m not texting him.
